Joe Wilson's Outburst and a Sneak Peek at the Immigration Debate

If you didn't know, Congressman Wilson (South Carolina - R) shouted "You lie!" at the President of the United States of America during a joint session of Congress.  South Carolina Democratic party chair Carol Fowler commented, "Never has any member of Congress shown such disrespect for the president during a speech" (CNN)  FYI, you can contribute to Wilson's midterm election opponent -- Rob Miller has a decent shot


Donate to Rep. Joe "You Lie" Wilson's Opponent Rob Miller!

By now, we all probably know that some a-hole shouted out "You lie" during President Obama's speech when the President was disputing the charge that health care reform will cover illegal aliens. Far from being a random heckler, it was a sitting member of Congress, U.S. Representative Joe Wilson (SC-02).  (What is in the water in SC these days, anyway?)


Obama wins in S.C.

Obama takes South Carolina by 55 points to Clinton's 27. Native son, John Edwards, won only 18% of the vote. While Obama claimed over 80% of the African American vote, 25% of White voters also supported Obama, suggesting he had support across all demographics. Clinton retained her hold over older, White women, but younger men and women supported Obama.
