COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Republicans have overwhelmingly elected their first black member to the Republican National Committee.Glenn McCall is chairman of the York County Republican Party.

McCall says it is time for Republicans to get out of the fox hole and go on the offensive.

After Saturday’s vote showed McCall the heavy favorite, opponent Drew McKissick asked that the convention elect McCall by acclamation.

The State

Glenn McCall is awesome! He is the GOP Chairman of York County where I live. I attended a county Republican committee meeting last summer and McCall called out a County Councilman, who the committee worked to get elected the year before, who turned out to be a complete RINO. McCall was gathering a group of residents from the councilman’s district to have a meeting with him to give fair warning not to automatically assume the committee would support him again. I found that to be admirable because a lot of committee people are total hacks, especially for incumbents.
