Rep. Wilson easily wins GOP nod in SC 2nd District
WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The South Carolina congressman best known for shouting "You lie!" at the president has easily won the Republican primary for the 2nd District.
U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson won his primary rematch Tuesday over Barnwell businessman Phil Black. Wilson also beat Black by an overwhelming margin in 2008.
Wilson raised his national profile and a mass of cash after he heckled President Barack Obama during a health care speech to Congress in September.
The 62-year-old real estate attorney will face Democrat Rob Miller, a former Marine captain who also saw his campaign coffers fill after Wilson's outburst. Wilson beat Miller two years ago in the district that stretches from the state capital to the southern coast.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina's primary elections have one congressman fighting for his seat and voters in two other districts picking their new representatives.
In the northwestern 4th district, Republican Rep. Bob Inglis is trying to keep his job. His four challengers include a prosecutor and a state senator and he's been busy countering critics who contend he is not conservative enough.
In the coastal 1st District, nine GOP contenders hope to succeed retiring Rep. Henry Brown. They include the son of Strom Thurmond and the state's first black Republican legislator since Reconstruction.
Six Republicans are competing for the seat vacated by gubernatorial candidate Gresham Barrett.
Elsewhere, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and Rep. Joe Wilson face token opposition.
