These accusations aside, we should think hard about the future of two truly outstanding South Carolinians who happen to be African-American,TIM SCOTT and HENRY WHITE.

Unfortunately, TIM SCOTT won’t be elected Treasurer. If a Screening Commission were to be established, as Spartanburg businessman Lee Bright suggested to me today, maybe Mr. Scott would have gotten up to the plate. But it is not to be. Still, as everyone in Charleston knows, South Carolina needs Tim Scott in a prominent role statewide. (Tim has served ably in public office for over a decade, most recently as Chairman of Charleston County Council, and is one of the founders of Palmetto Family Council.)

HENRY WHITE could also be facing a future of being underutilized. Will legislative members and Chellis sack White from his position as Executive Director of the state Budget & Control Board? That would also be a loss to the state.

[...] 2, 2007 - It will probably never be publicly reported that Gov. Mark Sanford was the man behind the anonymous leak of sensitive information targeting would-be State Treasurer Converse Chellis. Proving such a link would be impossible, and [...]

The file is a public record so you can get the allegations against him. What’s harder to get is the truth, but Will’s “truth threshold” is barely above the ground. And Shaggy, I think you might have missed the boat on lawsuit counting/link posting.

Hey,

At least this happened (if it indeed did happen) on his own clock and not the people’s clock. When Richard Eckstrom was treasurer, the state of SC had to settle a sexual harrassment charge against him.

Now he is on his second term as comptroller general. He took his family to Minnesotta using the state van. However, no ethics violation were found.

Perhaps the treasurer’s office has some kind of chicken curse - Maybe Mr. Patterson should just get the seat back.

“Mongoloid Scholl”?!! William, that sort of language is cruel, insensitive and just plain outdated! If you absolutely must respond to BIN, could you take the high road…or least a road not quite as low? I know for a fact your mama raised you better than this!

Exactly what does this salacious picture have to do with the story? While the information is timely and informative I missed the part where Chellis was accused of sexually harassing a woman in a short dress and animal print high heels. A picture of the man in question would have been more appropriate, and the picture you posted distracts the reader from the true gist of your story.

Ok…so the Governor has his thugs dig up “dirt” on Chellis.
Then the Governor grandstands and endorses a token black candidate for the job.
Then he has the “dirt” leaked just before the election, as if it will make any difference in the race…because the race is not about Chellis…it is about the legislature vs. Sanford, and whether it is Chellis or not…it WILL be an anti-Sanford guy.
So the point is…Sanford spins it all to make himself look like the working man’s hero, but in reality he is only pissing off the few supporters he had left in the General Assembly.
Irrelevant does not begin to describe Governor Mark Sanford.
