South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s autobiography Can’t Is Not An Option, comes out today. She’ll be in town on Monday signing copies at Blue Bicycle Books, but we’re sure our Managing Editor Chris Haire will have read the memoir a thousand times by then — he won an AAN award for his piece on the governor last year.
Do you have plans to read the book?
Who’s going to today’s “THE ROCK ME LIKE A HERMAN CAIN: SOUTH CAIN-OLINA PRIMARY RALLY” at the Cistern Yard?

Nikki Haley offered us her thoughts on Mitt Romney.
The politicians are coming! Here’s video from yesterday’s Mitt Romney rally, with Nikki Haley, John McCain, and, yep, an attempted Occupy Charleston protest.
