For 53 years, South Carolina Republicans have gathered together each year to forget... celebrate our party’s conservative principles, as well as the donors and activists who help promote those principles in our government. While our Party has enjoyed increasing success in the years since our Elephant Club was formed, we always have to remember that no victories are ever perma- nent. They are dependent on our continuing to be faithful to do the fundamen- tals: communicating a clear conservative message that is relevant to voters, identifying and organizing fellow Republicans, and raising the money to make it all possible. As we gather this evening on the anniversary of the tragic terrorists attacks on our homeland in 2001, we’re reminded about what’s at stake in our elections this year - the protection of our families, our homes, our property, our borders and our fundamental values. This year’s election offers us an incredible opportunity to continue to expand our Party.

  • The Governorship of Mark Sanford
    PICKING WINNERS AND LOSERS: THE GOVERNORSHIP OF MARK SANFORD by DANIEL KANSO (Under the Direction of Charles S. Bullock III) ABSTRACT Focused from 2003 to 2011, I argue that the flawed execution of executive leadership under Governor Mark Sanford directly contributed to his administration’s failure to accomplish his central goal of reforming South Carolina’s fiscal policies. By evaluating Sanford’s two terms in office, I demonstrate that he contributed to a legislative dynamic that divided Republican leaders and ultimately weakened the authority held by the governor’s office. This thesis relies on an analysis of media coverage, and most directly, draws upon independently conducted interviews with: Mark Sanford, his chiefs of staff Fred Carter, Tom Davis, and Scott English, legislative liaison Chip Campsen, and more than thirty individuals, ranging from legislators to party chairmen.

    THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF SOUTH CAROLINA'S 2012 REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY by Donald Matthew Moore Bachelor of Science Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005 Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts in Economics Darla Moore School of Business University of South Carolina 2014 Accepted by: Douglas P. Woodward, Director of Thesis Joseph C. Von Nessen, Reader Lacy Ford, Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies © Copyright by Donald Matthew Moore, 2014 All Rights Reserved. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Three generations of South Carolina political leaders have promoted South Carolina’s “First in the South” presidential primary. With its early primary date, South Carolina receives considerable national and international publicity and would otherwise likely be “flyover country” for most presidential candidates. Instead, South Carolinians in both political parties now have a significant impact on picking the American president. Governor Jim Edwards (1975-1979) was a major force in giving the state Republican Party enough credibility to host a primary. His friend and campaign manager, former South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Dan Ross (1976-1980), shepherded the earlier primary date through the state Republican Party’s executive committee in September 1979. Over the three decades following, many political and media figures have made major contributions to South Carolina’s “First in the South” presidential primary status. I thank them for their guidance and interviews. I would also like to thank the talented researchers at the University of South Carolina for their valuable methodological guidance. Thank you also to the Federal Election Commission, the South Carolina Republican Party, various South Carolina political operatives, local chambers of commerce, Democracy in Action’s Eric Appleman, and Smart Media Group’s Kyle Roberts for providing valuable insights.
