Watch the South Carolina Republican Air War from the Comfort of Home

The Palmetto State airwaves are filled with millions of dollars in political advertising. Here's what voters are actually hearing about the candidates.

The GOP campaign in South Carolina is primarily an air war: More than $8 million is currently being spent on the state's broadcast-television networks alone, blitzing potential voters with hyperbolic claims about the candidates who seek their votes.

Below, a look at some of the messages beaming into Palmetto State homes these days, arranged from largest buy to smallest.
