Voters rip Democrats’ oath plan, The State:

“It sounds like one of the stupidest ideas I’ve heard in a long time,” said Rice University political scientist Earl Black, formerly of the University of South Carolina. “This makes no sense at all. It just steps on the effort of South Carolina Democrats to create a situation to build the party.”…

…The pledge is legal because the Democratic Party — not the state Election Commission — pays for and runs the presidential primary.
