VP Rankings South Carolina

South Carolina Democrats
Jim Hodges: Former Gov, Ranking: 4, Other than being from the South Hodges has no advantages.
John Spratt: Rep SC-5, Ranking: 4, One of the most conservative Democrats in the south.
Jim Clyburn: Rep SC-6, Ranking: 3, Has had several problematic statements.

South Carolina Republicans
Mark Sanford: Gov, Ranking: 9, The ideal Southerner for McCain. A governor, young, and very conservative.
David Beasley: Former Gov, Ranking: 5, Not bad, but is overshadowed by the large number of talented Republicans in South Carolina.
Lindsey Graham: Sen, Ranking: 6, moderate for a Southern Republican, but still solidly conservative.
Jim DeMint: Sen, Ranking: 5, Popular with conservatives, but only has 4 years in the senate, and may not be popular with the US at large.
Henry Brown JR: Rep SC-1, Ranking: 3, Too old.
Joe Wilson: Rep SC-2, Ranking: 4, Probably too divisive.
Gresham Barrett: Rep SC-3, Ranking: 5, Young, Southern, Conservative.
Bob Inglis: Rep SC-4, Ranking: 4, Only 4 years in Congress.
