Haley Pollster: SC Governor Unlikely To Win Reelection

S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s pollster has been privately predicting what most people living in South Carolina already knew – that the scandal-scarred first term “Republican” is highly unlikely to win reelection in 2014.

In fact, multiple sources tell FITS that Haley’s consultant Jon Lerner has reached the conclusion that – barring some miraculous turnaround – his “rising star” won’t even make it out of the 2014 GOP primary (hence this sort of speculation).

Lerner – who previously advised former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford – is accordingly attempting to position Haley as a prospective nominee in the cabinet of a Mitt Romney administration (or even a lowly ambassador).

“Everything she’s doing now is geared toward getting to D.C.,” a well-placed Washington insider tells FITS. “She doesn’t give a f*ck about being governor of South Carolina anymore.”

Everybody knows that's why she endorsed Romney. People are already lining up to oppose her in a Republican primary.

FITS is the one who claimed he had a sexual relationship affair with Haley and apparently went from supporter to a critic or man spurned I guess. Haley has been awful and probably won't win reelection but I am always suspicious about anti-Haley stuff from FITS. The guy is definitely a piece of work. If he and Haley were an item, they deserve each other.

However, he has great contacts around the state and he usually is right when he gossips. I read it because he gets info others don't for a while.
