It looks as if you have no clout. The people who elected you as their leader did not follow in your footsteps and effectively defeated Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

And by double-digit percentage points. So much for Haley's influence over South Carolina. I mean, a former Alaskan governor - Sarah Palin - swayed more people in South Carolina than Haley could.

Not a surprise. She's almost front row at any jobs announcement a company has, however, a no show when Romney made his speech tonight.

Cut and run.

The Georgetown port knows all too well about that.
