I linked earlier to PoliticalProf’s post regarding Nikki Halley’s white-washing the reason for the American Civil War.
Halley has since conceded that, yeah, maybe slavery did have a little bit to do with it.
Over at No More Mister Nice Blog, Steve M argues that said concession is not likely to help Halley with the Republican Party’s secessionist base. A snippet:
But Haley can’t do any of that, because her brand is “reasonable-seeming Republican.” She’s polling best in New Hampshire, where members of any party (or no party) can vote in the Republican primary, and where the Republicans are, on average, more moderate than they are in most of the country. Angry wingnuttery might alienate these voters, so she’s ruled it out.
