Résumé

Every four years presidential hopefuls and the media travel the primary election circuit through Iowa and New Hampshire. Only then does the focus shift to South Carolina. H. Gibbs Knotts and Jordan Ragusa make the case for shifting the national focus to South Carolina because of its often-predictive role in selecting presidential nominees.
