(ABC News) — In Charleston, S.C., where the Civil War began, conservative tradition is woven deep into politics. It’s also where Tim Scott, an African-American, is running for congress as a Republican. Scott is a conservative with the backing of Sarah Palin and the tea party — endorsements he says he is proud to have. “Absolutely, and if you believe in conservative government, if you believe in free market capitalism, if you believe in not spending money you don’t have, you’re a tea party member as well,” Scott says.
