We are eagerly awaiting the elections of 08 and 10. And don't blame me, I voted for Hodges.

The co-mingling of large amounts of money between “charities” that Sanford controls is, in legal terms, a no- no. In doing so he has invited scrutiny, and if there is one press person in all of SC with balls larger than Cindy Ross Scoppes’’, an FOI request will be winging its way to Charleston by mid-morning and then the crapola will hit the fan. 2. Once the general public sees which special interest groups, rich guys and out of state influence peddlers giving to these charities’…and in the LARGE amounts that they give, it will not be a small story anymore. 3. Perhaps the largest mound of crapola will hit the fan when the public sees the expenses…large amounts of money being spent on what Mr. and Mrs .Average South Carolina will deem to be “dream” items. Then the envy factor sets in. I can promise u the average South Carolinian does not have expenses like Mark Sanford and his friends do…and they will not like it. So, this is going to be interesting. If Sanford and his hobgoblin chum Joel Sawyer can snooker the South Carolina press on this one, then that is a signal to every villain in the land they SC is open for scams, plots and shenanigans on a scale of unimaginable proportions. As usual, keep up the good work. U make SC politics worth watching. I agree, as usual, with most of what Your Genius has stated…but I do disagree with a couple of points.
