There will be a Democratic primary in June for the SC-1 seat Henry Brown holds. However, there is a noticeable absence of one candidate who was in the thick of it all: Robert Dobbs.
Dobbs did not file. Frequent candidate Ben Frasier did.
It will be Robert Burton and Frasier vying for your vote in June.

Robert Burton!
Sorry you have to vote for the black canidate or you WILL be a racist!
I have a serious question, Jamie. If Linda Ketner was able to get so close to winning the seat in 2008, proving that the 1st CD is potentially "winnable" by Democrats--why didn't a strong, viable brand-name candidate step forward to take on this opportunity in 2010? No Ketner, no Starvanakis, no Vida Miller, or anyone else who could be a "marquee" candidate for the Democrats. It looks like the state Democrat Party is going to focus its attention on the 2nd and 5th districts and leave out the 1st.
You know, Michael... I wondered the same thing in December. But, I guess the word was through the grapevine about Brown retiring. From what I have seen so far from the GOP side, it's pretty much sons of politicians who feel entitled to a GOP seat. It's as if they see it as a stepping stone to something else. Why aren't the state Dems so focused on this race yet? Who's the one to say they aren't. It's like poker: You don't reveal what you have just yet.
I voted for Ketner in the last election and you can bet your bottom dollar that i will never make that mistake again. I will never vote Democrat again as long as i live now that I know what the progressive movement in that party stands for.
