From the “It’s a small world” department. A few years ago when Chief Stewart said he was going to retire (and then changed his mind a short time later) I heard Judge Burch (yep, the same one from the bar exam controversy) was a candidate. He had been a cop before he went to law school so it made some sense at the time. Of course, after the last couple of weeks, I’m sure he’s out of it.

being groomed for an office for a long time in South Carolina that is politically appointed for 7 years that cannot be removed without cause is a potentially dangerous thing.

Think about our supreme court justices that can only be impeached by a vote of 2/3rd of EACH chamber the General Assembly. Like that will ever happen.

In the palmetto state, our leaders think with the wrong had sometimes. Its the one above their shoulders, they use it to figure out how they are going to spend their campaign contributions and the competitive grants that they are going to get for their districts in an effort to get reelected.

Mr. Keel is the only logical choice. Anyone else would be just a political hack, and S.C. has enough political hacks already. A case in point is sick(k) willie. Okay, so he’s only a political hack wanna-be.

Mr. B. is right. The gubner would never appoint LL because of politics.

MK is the only choice.

You honestly think that Sanford would put a democrat like Leon Lott in that office. Mark Keel has been groomed for that office for a long time and would be a great nomination.

10 to 1 there is another name in the mix that nobody has thought about yet. J, al cannon esquire. High Sheriff of the lowcountry who was a candidate for sc director of public safety and for director of homeland security. Those “jobs” weren’t good enough for the sheriff. He wanted to remain home and do his job and help take care of his mother who was ailing. His mother has passed.

I think having a sled chief who has been a beat cop, a sled agent, former chief of police for the city of north charleston, a practicing attorney and three term sheriff of Charleston County is definitely the most qualified man for the job.

Sometime later today, when he sobers up, sic(k) willie will “break” the news that former Governor McNair passed away.

Rest In Peace, Our Friend!!!
