South Carolina’s labor participation rate slipped to another record low last month, with only 58.5 percent of the state’s working age population employed or actively searching for a job. That’s a full five points behind the national rate, which itself is at a 34-year-low.
Don’t worry, though – our state’s “Jobs Governor” Nikki Haley is on the case … (well, if you live in Georgia).
If you live in the Palmetto State, though, the “Legend of Queen Nimrata” will soon be told on your airwaves via a $130,000 television buy from the Movement Fund – a pro-Haley political action committee which was unearthed exclusively by this website back in September.
News of the Movement Fund’s ad buy was first reported by The Politico – which noted that Haley “is expected to face a serious reelection fight.”
Ya think? Haley’s approval rating is currently 43.5 percent – and that’s a figure that’s shown marked improvement in recent months.
So … what will this pro-Haley spot say? We’ll have to wait until May 1 to find out, but our guess is “jobs” will be its focus. You know, because if you say “jobs” enough and throw enough “jobs” numbers out there (whether they’re accurate or not) then BAM! You’re the “Jobs Governor …” or something.
Even though the state’s workforce is smaller than it’s ever been … like, ever.
Haley is expected to face S.C. Senator Vincent Sheheen in a rematch of the 2010 election – which the incumbent “Republican” won unconvincingly (despite it being one of the best years on record for GOP candidates).

As an incumbemt. to begin airing commercials well over a YEAR in advance of even the PRIMARY, means she is worried about her chances. She has every right to be.

I consider myselfa conservative and mistakenly voted for Haley in the last election, never again.
I have friends who know Sheheen ell and consider him to be a fine, honest nd moral person. In other words, everything Haley is not!
She has been a horrible disapointment to me and almost everyone I talk with.
My vote and all my family votes will go to Sheheen this time. Hopefully, we can right a wrong!
Ditto.
I’m right with you on everything.

I see no humor in calling this little girl – a princess at best – a queen. There is only one queen in South Carolina.
Would that queen be Lindsey?

She should worry less about Sheheen and more about winning the Republican primary.

Hope there are not many flights of stairs on this coming campaign, she seems to have problems with those.
There are always AA meetings.

What’s up with that $389,108.07 judgement against each of her parents in O’burg. County?
Wasn’t that clothing store they owned in a strip mall on Highway 21? I’m sure they skipped out on some debts. After all, who would buy that tacky shit they were selling?
All I found was that they sold the building and land to Life Cathedral for 1/2 million $, and now the judgement is against both Ajit and Raj.. Did they sell it and not pay off the loan or is it a tax lien? Don’t know.
big idio”T”.
Oh,it’s just an accounting error, NIMRATA will fix it right up.

south carolinians voted nikki haley as governor BECAUSE she was accused of having multiple affairs. before the multiple claims of affairs she was in 4th place OUT OF 4. then after the claims of affairs she shot up to EASY VICTORY. the primary was a blowout and the runoff was both a formality and a joke. the only other things she had was the illegal $400k ad buy and sarah palin. can anyone dispute that the best thing that ever happene for her and this website were the affairs claims. they won haley the governor and this site has owned sc politics, totally, ever since. recap: BEFORE the affair claims: DEAD IN THE WATER SMELLY ROTTEN FISH; AFTER the affair claims: EASY UNCONTESTED VICTORY. UNCONTESTED ! congrats nik and sic, you own the rubes.
