In the South Carolina Republican run-off for Governor Nikki Haley has raised virtually all of her money from small individual contributors. Opponent Gresham Barrett has raised almost all of his contributions from Business PACs, many based on 'K' Street in D.C.

From the Sacramento Bee, "Barrett winning money race in S.C. gubernatorial runoff" June 20:

The fact that Barrett's long-shot campaign can raise more money than Haley, who almost won the GOP nomination outright getting 49 percent of the vote in the June 8 primary, is evidence traditional Republican donors have concerns about the Lexington Republican, said Greenville, S.C.-based consultant Chip Felkel.

In particular, those Republicans fear Haley, a protege of libertarian Republican Gov. Mark Sanford, will repeat the two-term governor's pattern of standoffs with the Legislature, which is controlled by more traditional Republicans.

"The business community doesn't want her," Felkel said. "They want to head off four more years of Mark Sanford."
