Katon Dawson
Who He Is: Current chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party

What He Represents: The old-school Southern GOP. During his introductory remarks, he bragged about his record of delivering South Carolina for Republicans -- a dubious achievement since the Palmetto State hasn't gone blue since 1976. Indeed, fellow candidate Ken Blackwell dinged Dawson on his claim, sarcastically noting Dawson's wins in "that key swing state of South Carolina.”

Sample Line from the Debate: “I think [the Democrats are] going to give us the gift of an overreaching, overpowering government that will limit our freedom."
