Just got an interesting — "interesting" because it’s uncharacteristic, aimed at no particular partisan advantage that I can identify — release from the S.C. GOP:

SCGOP Chairman Katon Dawson welcomes ONE Vote ’08
Dawson believes fighting poverty is an important cause

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Katon Dawson today released the following statement on the ONE Vote ’08 South Carolina campaign kickoff:
    “I am proud to welcome ONE Vote ’08 to South Carolina,” said Dawson.  “Poverty is a pressing issue presidential candidates must tackle during the upcoming campaign.  It is important to me that whoever is elected president be committed to bringing relief to those across the world afflicted by extreme poverty.”

You don’t usually get releases like that from either of the parties.

Maybe the ONE Vote ’08 campaign really is nonpartisan, huh?
