This is the reason why. In South Carolina Bush campaign said he had a baby by a black women. For me to have moved to SC a year ago I can't believe how this would affect people votes. For one reason it is not true, and even if it was who cares. What do you think about this.
 
He didn't drop out of the race b/c of the black baby story. He did not win the SC primary so he decided not to continue his campaign.
 
Well they're republican primary voters, in South Carolina. We're not talking about the broader electorate. Primaries tend to skew to the fringe of their party. And if it had been true it'd also speak to family values, cheating, lying, portraying it as an adoption, etc. But it wasn't. It was a horrible smear from the Bush campaign, though. Considering the daughter in question was adopted by Cindy McCain. It's the worst of the worst, using someone's child as a political smear with racial undertones.

The great irony of the story is that McCain later hired those same political operatives for his campaign this year.
