Two sides of Nikki and roll call voting

Here’s a little snippet of evidence indicating that SC Republicans aren’t entirely monolithic these days. You can tell them apart, and they do disagree now and then, as evidenced by these two Tweet from Wesley Donehue, spokesman for SC Senate Republicans:

Nikki Haley called me last year angry that the Senate filed a roll call voting bill.    about 1 hour ago  via TweetDeck

Nikki Haley told me that she didn’t want the Senate “stealing my issue.”    about 1 hour ago  via TweetDeck

Let me repeat – Nikk Haley asked me to get the Senators to pull the companion bill from the Senate.     about 1 hour ago  via TweetDeck

So far, I’ve seen no responding Tweets from Nikki. Probably because she’s busy today testifying on her favorite topic, according to her own Tweet and to John O’Connor:

Full hearing room for the roll call voting, some in the audience are a little…worked up     about 3 hours ago  via TweetDeck

Campaigns and Policy Council have cameras set up, one trained on Rep. Nikki Haley, another on Sen. Jake Knotts.     about 3 hours ago  via TweetDeck

Rep. Haley on roll calls: Why don’t you just say you don’t want to record how you vote?     about 1 hour ago  via TweetDeck

Personally, I think it would be great if Nikki would stick to that issue, because it’s one that puts her in a good light and makes me feel like she’s a positive influence. But she’s determined to channel Mark Sanford, and I just can’t deal with any more of that…

    It might be worth noting in this case that the spokesman for the SC Senate GOP Caucus is also publically supporting Gresham Barrett for governor and has done paid work for his campaign in the past. Given the fact that Nikki Haley has been going after Barrett just this week (three times in the same debate!), it’s probably understandable why the Senate GOP Caucus Director might be a little upset at her…
