Over the weekend, Sen. Bernie Sanders was in the key early primary state of South Carolina. He’s been drawing huge crowds around the country in his campaign for the Democratic nomination, but South Carolina could prove to be a big hurdle. Furman political science professor Danielle Vinson commented about just how big that challenge might be for Sanders as part of a piece on NPR’s “Morning Edition.”  Vinson calls Sanders an “odd choice” for South Carolina Democrats, who tend to be relatively conservative.
