Terry's Elections Guide and Predictions: South Carolina

Governor (Republican-held)
Mark Sanford (R) 56 - Tommy Moore (D) 43
Sanford seems to have fallen from the days when he was considered a leading candidate for a spot on the Republicans' 2008 presidential ticket, but Moore seems not to have been able to find much traction.

SC-05 (Democratic-held)
John Spratt (D) 56 - Ralph Norman (R) 42
This was supposed to be one of the GOP's best pickup opportunities; Spratt is the rare southern Democratic congressman not elected from a majority-minority district. The political climate has not been favorable to Republican challengers, even in South Carolina, and Norman hasn't been able to find much traction either.
