Great votes on immigration, just like DeMint---but it all boils down to just plain old demagoguery. When push comes to shoove, they're no better than Joan Brady.

The person who wins the GOP nomination will be the one who can most legitimately claim the gov's mantle, and that universe is relatively small. Off the bat it would seem to include Chip Campsen, Tom Davis and Nikki Haley. The GOP political wheel is turning and Sanford is proving to be a prophet.

The strongest GOP candidate will be the one who can best connect himself (or herself) to Sanford and his policies. That means people like Nikki Haley, Chad Walldorf or Tom Davis.

Our legislature controls every single aspect of state government. Every one. And all the money that goes with it. The people think their governor can change things. They are wrong about that. He or she will never get anything done until our backwards, corrupt system of government changes and the General Assembly gives up the power it should never have had in the first place.

He doesn't have a statewide profile or probably any desire to be Gov. -- But he is an honest, straight talking, conservative who's more about policy than politics. The problem is that between gerrymandered districts and ego and greed, we just get the same old guys. Sanford has hit a home run with the public -- but from a governance standpoint hasn't accomplished a lot. Henry McMaster has paid his dues -- but really? Gresham Barrett has become the disciple of Howard Rich -- and while that may do him well in the primary -- it will be another Karen Floyd in the General. Andre -- well just say Senior Scam and Jim Miles really fast. That plane won't fly. We need something new and fresh -- It will be interesting to see what shows up.

We need something new and fresh –

It will be interesting to see what shows up.

Honesty is required. McMaster should be focusing on the law of the land and state right now. He isn't. Barrett should remember EVERYTHING his daddy taught him and what the Citadel instilled in him Bauer, he's a nice guy. Nice guys always finish last right? I don't know any of the rest of em... maybe they are good, maybe not, but nevertheless, a true and real leader will always stand out. A real conservative would too.

Benjamin: You can't be serious....Davis, Ballentine---good grief!! BTW-- is this the same Katherine Jenerette that managed to pull a whopping 19% against Henry Brown in the GOP primary? She failed to carry a single precinct in her home county(Horry). GG: Amen brother!!

I hate to say it, but the best bet for governor right now might be a Democrat - I'm thinking of Joe Erwin. If he could find it in him to run as a moderate Dem who wants to shake things up at the State House then maybe he'd be a better check on the RINO's in the Legislature than McMaster, Barrett, or Andre.
