McLeod Sees No Legality In Republican Primary
South Carolina Attorney General Daniel L. McLeod says the March 8 GOP polling has no legal significance since it is not covered by state law. Republican leaders say the vote could still help or not hurt the party’s primary, with formal opinion to follow. Democratic caucuses are set for March 15 and the June 8 Democratic primary remains open to cross participation.

Two-Term Governor Proposal Faces Tough Senate Fight
South Carolina lawmakers show limited support for a gubernatorial two term plan. Sen. L Marion Gressette predicts strong opposition in the General Assembly as Gov Dick Riley prepares a re election proposal. The Carolina Constitution bars governors from serving two terms, and Gressette notes the two thirds requirement makes passage unlikely. Calhoun Democrat Sen Heyward McDonald introduced the measure last year and is guiding it in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
