She's going to win, but that's the spin the establishment's flagship paper gives it, sigh:
"In S.C. governor’s race, Tea Party pick’s star fading
BEAUFORT, S.C. — She tours the state in a 34-seat bus, has had her face on the cover of Newsweek, and has received endorsements from Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney.
But in the final days of her campaign for South Carolina governor, Nikki Haley, a Tea Party movement favorite, has lost at least a bit of her aura of inevitability. Some recent polls have indicated that the race is tightening. Her Democratic opponent, state Senator Vincent Sheheen, has hammered her about a history of late tax payments. A conservative blogger also continues to publish details about what he says was their extramarital affair, which she denies.

I'm sensing some RACISM and SEXISM from the agenda-pushing establishment media, folks!
Haley, an Indian-American former state legislator, defeated three better-known opponents for the Republican nomination and has raised $3.8 million in donations.
And they have NEVER FORGIVEN HER (or the voters) FOR IT!
Her election would be historic, bringing positive attention to a state that has elected only white men as governor — and has endured a recent streak of political scandals.
And we CAN'T HAVE THAT!
Can't have those "racist(?)" Tea Party people put in a dark-skinned woman for governor in South Carolina. We have mythic images and agenda-pushing divisiveness to maintain in my newspaper, dear readers.
