"South Carolina plays a pivotal role when it comes to selecting presidents. For both parties, the state's primary is the first contest in the South, strategically scheduled to take place shortly after the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.

For Republicans, the outcome in South Carolina nearly always reflects voter sentiment in other southern states, and the winner of the South Carolina primary has gone on to secure the GOP nomination in all but one contest since 1980. For Democrats, the state is a consistent barometer of other southern contents, demonstrates the importance of black voters, and adds much needed diversity to the early state calendar"--
