i'm going wtih poppin jay on that one...plus, i think he owed a pardon to one of the parties...
but still..when you look at who he could have supported..you get : Jesse helms an strom thurmond...the dem party was ...just 'sliiightly' racist...strom thurmond having the record filibuster against ending segregation....oh yea, SC is so great sometimes. plus, he was on the dixiecrat ticket...oh yea..lots of reasons for MLK to be republican back then.
Actually, thurmond's change to the republican party is part of what caused the state to go red..and stay there.
