Knotts and Ragusa provide a thorough look at how South Carolina became the focal point of presidential primary elections, and why it remains such a critical stop on the presidential primary map for both Democrats and Republicans. - Former South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges Combining rich archival research with statistical analysis, Knotts and Ragusa offer a comprehensive look at South Carolina presidential primaries. An excellent primer for political practitioners and journalists, the book provides a compelling argument for why South Carolina enjoys an early spot on the presidential primary calendars of both parties. -- Danielle Vinson, Furman University

"an excellent primer on the importance of South Carolina and, by extension, the South in selecting contemporary presidents. -- ""Political Science Quarterly"""
