DeMint will beat Tennenbaum in November for two reasons. One, he will have the active backing of the White House, and that may be more important in SC than almost any other state. Two, the only way currently for a Democrat to win a statewide race is to face a flawed Republican candidate. Beasely was that flawed candidate; thus, his loss in 1998 to Jim Hodges. I think the race is close, and Inez could pull it out if she gets a huge "women vote" (women are a large majority of the swing voters in SC), and, of course, if Bush totally self-destructs by November and Kerry is on his way to a landslide. I of course hope this is the scenario that plays out, but I'd have to put my money on the radical republican.
