He said voters don't want to be told what to do by outsiders but "they're wise. They're smart. They are going to look at both records and find that Tim Scott is the better candidate." Mike Connolly, a Club for Growth spokesman, said the group supports candidates it feels can win. "We want to endorse generally viable candidates," he said. "We want to find people in viable races, races they can win and where we can make a difference." Cash, running against Duncan, said Monday "this one special interest group has flooded the race. Club for Growth is trying to buy the seat." The latest FEC report shows Cash raised about $192,000 for his campaign. Contributions solicited from individuals through the club comprise about $82,000 of the $369,000 donated to Duncan's campaign, the records show. Duncan disagrees with Cash that it's special interest money because each check comes from an individual who wrote it to the campaign. He said he's never received a check from the Club for Growth, but rather from its members "because I'm the identified conservative in the race."
