Byron York - In S.C., Joe Wilson outruns his "You lie!' moment

Internal polls indicate Wilson leads Miller by about the same margin as 2008, the first time the two men ran against each other. Back then, Wilson defeated Miller by 54 percent to 46 percent; this year, campaign sources believe, Wilson's lead might be a tad larger. The Cook Political Report rates the district a solid Republican seat.
