What They're Saying: A Look At SC's Political Blogs

The legislative session and the race for the First Congressional Seat are both in high gear. But they are just two of the topics on the minds of South Carolina's bloggers. Here's a sample:

• Earl Capps is one of the most influential bloggers in the state and he is talking about the other special election in the state—the one for House District Seat 17.

• The Cotton Boll Conspiracy is talking about the early days of the US Supreme Court.

• Will Folks, the former Mark Sanford staffer who runs FITSNews, weighs in on the latest cruise ship dispute in the Lowcountry and the decision by Sen. Tom Davis not to seek higher office. Consider yourself warned, FITSNews is not always family friendly.

• Waldo Lydecker talks about Rep. Jeff Duncan's prominent role in Robert Draper's look inside the US House of Representatives "Do Not Ask What Good We Do."
