I've tremendously enjoyed my two decades in South Carolina -- and I always enjoy an excuse to head for the capitol. The state house plaza has to be somewhat unique for its size, its stunning park-like aspects, its numerous memorials to the greatness of our War Between the States saga.
Inside the august gray buildings, politicians and functionaries move with professional finesse. One would never guess from all this the corruption beneath the surface (unless, of course, one kept up with votes on issues). In the opinion of some pollsters, it's very, very bad (thanks, V):
