Not surprised at all. Mandy sent out her Victory speech by email and invited her supporters to a local restaurant about 2 pm on election day. Needless to say, she later had to give her cession speech at the ‘celebration.’

I don’t think she is even smart enough to be Lancaster’s City Attorney much less work in our state’s senate. Lancaster is very lucky to have a true conservative representing Lancaster and York counties, Mick Mulvaney.

You spend five or six months crapping on each other and you’re supposed to act like a regular plastic southernor and say ‘congratulations for stomping my name through the mud’. I realize it’s the polite thing to do but sometimes, polite is just stupid! Ronald Raygun is dead and it looks like he is taking GE with him!

When the choice is between having a hot woman in elected office or some generic white guy, I would go with the hot woman. She would have been nice to look at around the State House. But not a total loss…from what I can tell this Anne Peterson Hutto has potential.

CM Sullivan,

Reagan’s Commandment applies to ALL stages of the race, not just the end. Now, I could frankly give a rat’s arse about that race. But in all truth & disclosure, you dang well know that Bright’s campaign broke that commandment as well. Don’t try to be the referee in that battle, you ain’t gonna cut it.

Not only did former Rep. Scott Talley never call to congratulate/concede in the Republican State Senate race he lost to Lee Bright in Spartanburg, but he staged a write-in campaign against the nominee in the General Election.

So much for Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment.

Mike Gardner still has not called Sen. Glenn Reese to congratulate him yet either.

Great REM quote … not their best song, but a great quote nonetheless.

Well … it would have been had you known how to spell “acumen.”

Anyway, like we said, $750 doesn’t buy you a pot to piss in around here, because $750 doesn’t pay one quarter of one month’s phone bill around here.

And Sic Willie’s consulting firm produces LOTS of polls for LOTS of people, and lots of people pay him to tell them what his poll results mean. Mandy Powers-Norrell could call Sic tomorrow and he’d be happy to run a poll for her.

And why would (should) she do that?

Because Sic Willie understands the importance of asking the right questions of the right people in an operationally-defined, mutually-exclusive manner so as to produce dead-on “balls accurate” results, to borrow Marisa Tomei’s terminology.

And he knows how to turn those results into smart strategy, which is perhaps why every campaign he has ever consulted on has … wait for it … WON their election.

None of that, of course, makes Mandy Powers-Norrell any more or less of a bitch, or Mick Mulvaney any more or less of a horse’s ass (at times).

Nor does it buy them a drop of ink on this website, where we swing it however we want at whoever we want whenever we want to, something Sic’s clients (incidentally) must agree to up front.

We are, in fact, to borrow the Bare Naked Ladies’ term “so dangerous (they) have to sign a waiver.”

We also summon fish unto the dish, baby.
