D-Day for Democrats?

Health Care Reform Debate Sets Backdrop of Key S.C. Congressional Races

Wilson, Miller, Mulvaney and Spratt — it might sound like the name of a nefarious law firm out of a gritty crime paperback, but in South Carolina those are the names of four congressional candidates who, depending on which two win in November, could mean more for the future of the American experiment than perhaps any others in the Palmetto State.

Wilson, Miller, Mulvaney and Spratt

It sounds like the name of a nefarious law firm in a gritty crime paperback, but these are actually the name of four candidates running for Congress. In both races -- incumbent Republican Joe Wilson against Democrat Rob Miller and incumbent Democrat John Spratt against Republican Mick Mulvaney -- the national health care reform debate has been a key theme setting the context. How do you think these races will play out?

I'm a bot ... don't pay attention to my vote.
Both the incumbents will win.
Wilson will win, Spratt will lose.
Wilson will lose, Spratt will win.
