Swamp Fox – I’m afraid to know who you’re talking about … or what you’re smoking.

This man should give it up.

For one thing, what a guy. He sent out a flier that said “We used to call them Bank Robbers but now we call them Trial Lawyers.” He attacked Anne Hutto again and again for being a lawyer. Excuse, me, I thought lawyers mostly defend people’s rights. (See next paragaph!) Sure, there are some exceptions, but no one ever showed anything to indicate that Hutto was one of the bad ones. She sure does not look like a bad person. Not much of a gauge, I admit, but hey. I don’t think I have ever seen her climbing a building with a check in her hand on TV.

But looky looky, who did Mr. Scarborough, the lawyer hater, get to represent him in his Protest? One of the biggest firms of lawyers in the state. He should “man up” and do it without lawyers if he thinks that lawyers are so bad. Be consistent, man. That’s what lost him the election to begin with, you think?

McIntosh,

This election has been a shocker!!! The GOP is in shatters and they have decided to look to the past to find the solution. The Republican Party has the answer to McIntosh and his antics. It will be coming soon to challange him in the next round of elections. I hope he enjoys himself now because a ghost from the past is coming back into the GOP fold to right the ship and bring order back to the Low Country politics. For every ying there is a yang and its coming.

I have been involved in an election protest before. On the surface, this looks like Wallace Scarborough may have a point. All he has to do is convince that the election commission that he has 212 illegal votes that were cast. It is highly unlikely that 212 people all voted for his opponent, but there is no way to tell who the “illegal” voters voted for. Therefore, he has a right to call for a new election. If the election commission agrees that there are enough ballots cast that could have changed the election, they will call for a special election.

Not sure how many real “dems” voted in the election, but if a new election is called, Scarborough would win and probably win big. There is no way Obama supporters will come out and vote if their man is not on the ballot.

I have no idea who Wallace Scarborough is, but if he is a rino, then we Republicans have lost nothing. If he is a rino, i hope he loses, he deserves it.

Let’s hope it’s not Lynn Seithel II.

I would go on and on about chickens coming home to roost but I can’t discuss it until my Kevlar vest comes in…whether I am an SCE&G employee or not.

Anne Hutto is kind-of hot I think. We could stand to have her around the State House. Especially since smoking hot Mandy Norrell lost her race. Who cares what their party is especially since most of the Repubs at the Statehouse are RINO’s anyway.
