BUSH: HOLDING THE REPUBLICAN BASE
George W. Bush won South Carolina’s Republican primary in large part because of his ability to carry the state’s GOP strongholds. Bush swept the top eight Republican counties, as measured by support for the GOP presidential ticket in the fall of 1996. Most of the counties are among the most populous in South Carolina.
