      Colbert to File for S. Carolina Dem Primary

      (Newser) - Stephen Colbert's presidential run is gaining a little "truthiness" as CNN reports that the Comedy Central star will file as a candidate for the Democratic primary by the deadline today. Colbert dropped his bid to run on both parties for practical reasons: to get on the GOP ballot costs $35,000. "They priced us out of range," a source told CNN. But local Dems might still keep his name off the ballot. More »

      It's Down to Rudy and Mitt

      (Newser) - The baffling race for the GOP nomination is now down to two, argues the Weekly Standard ’s Fred Barnes: Only Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani have what really matters in the primary fight—“credible” paths to victory. Mitt’s the early-state favorite, the man to beat if he captures Iowa and New Hampshire. Rudy’s “scenario” involves winning Florida and then steamrolling on Super Tuesday. The best bet for the others? Pray for a miracle. More »

      Obama Looks for Gospel Lift

      (Newser) - Barack Obama's three-city South Carolina gospel tour kicked off over the weekend, with hopes that a little soul would lift his swooning numbers along with spirits. If the goal was, as one local supporter put it, to "get these young folks re-fired up," it wasn't happening at the first two concerts, the Washington Post reports, because the audience was largely "the retired and nearly retired."

      'Candidates' Spar Over SC Credentials

      (Newser) - With Stephen Colbert kicking off his presidential campaign spoof in South Carolina yesterday, things got a little heated between the Comedy Central star and John Edwards, the state's other favorite-son contender. Colbert accused Edwards of having abandoned the Palmetto State at the age of 1; the Edwards folks shot back that their man learned to talk there, learned to walk there, and would “kick Stephen Colbert's New York City butt” there.

      Primary Leapfroggers Will Lose Half of Delegates: GOP

      (Newser) - Five state delegations will lose half their votes if they hold their primaries, as currently scheduled, before the official start date of February 5, the RNC ruled yesterday. The party’s national chairman said the penalty shouldn’t come as a surprise, because the 2008 rules were adopted at the 2004 convention, Congressional Quarterly reports. More »

      Black Women Face Tough Choice

      (Newser) - South Carolina’s real Democratic debate is going down in the hair salon, where the New York Times informally polled black women on their split allegiances to Hillary and Obama. Maternal fondness for Barack may work against him—one won’t vote for him because “I fear that they just would kill him.” Black women are a crucial 29% of the state's primary voters. More »

      For Giuliani, Things Go Better Without Coke

      (Newser) - The South Carolina state treasurer's drug problem is reverberating in New York, where the Giuliani campaign severed ties with volunteer state chairman Thomas Ravenel after his indictment yesterday on federal cocaine-trafficking charges. The campaign said the real estate millionaire "has stepped down from his volunteer responsibilities," and the governor suspended him from his post. More »

      SC Blaze Kills 9 Firefighters

      (Newser) - Nine firefighters died last night when the roof of a burning furniture store in Charleston, SC, collapsed in what one onlooker described as a "30-foot tornado of flames." The mayor said no city firefighter had died on the job in his 30 years in office, and to "lose nine is just unbelievable." More »
