Cruising Wiki For Information on South Carolina's 2nd Congressional District

Just in case you want to get the lay of the land of SC's 2^nd Congressional district, I checked out recent electoral history for the district.

Truth be told, it's a tough row to hoe:

Year		Democrat	Votes	Pct		Republican	Votes	Pct
2000		Jane Frederick	110,672	41%		Floyd Spence	154,338	57%
2001		Brent Weaver	14,034	25%		Joe Wilson	40,355	73%	<Special Election
2002		(no candidate)				Joe Wilson	144,149	84%
2004		Michael Ellisor	93,249	33%		Joe Wilson	181,862	65%
2006		Michael Ellisor	76,090	37%		Joe Wilson	127,811	63%
2008		Rob Miller	158,627	46%		Joe Wilson	184,583	54%

Though the best performance against Wilson to date was Rob Miller's loss by 8%, so it is entirely reasonable to consider this race to be competitive, particularly since Miller has raised about $¾ million, $733,608.00 on Act Blue alone at the time of this post (below break), and Mr. Miller has name recognition from his last run, and he has generated a lot of buzz in the past 36 hours or so.
