"Nikki Haley's Battle for South Carolina: Can Super Tuesday Shift the GOP Primary Dynamics?"

The GOP primary process demonstrates that all politics are now national, with Donald Trump's dominance highlighting the shift away from Tip O'Neill's belief that politics are local. This nationalization poses a challenge for Nikki Haley, as regional quirks and pet issues have been eroded by a fast-twitch news cycle and declining local news. Campaigning in specific states has lost significance, as social media and direct voter communication have transcended state and international borders, leading to a homogenization of politics. The traditional methods of campaigning, such as door-to-door outreach, have diminished, leaving voters inundated with national political narratives.
