Darrell Jackson’s political views, moral character, and commitment to service have been clearly demonstrated over the years. We know what to expect not by what he says but by what he has consistently done! SC needs such a visionary to bring about change. I would definitely support his bid should he decide to move in this direction. Lt. Governor Jackson…I like the sound of that!

Joe Taylor? The same guy who has run Commerce into the ground with his nearsighted micro-management style (i.e., my-way-or-the-highway)? Someone needs to look at Commerce before and after Joey’s ascendancy and ask some serious questions about his management style, and if that’s what we want in a Governor. When some 45-50% of the workforce turns over within the first two years of his reign, including 90% of the skilled veterans of economic development, the personnel director, the head of administration, and a whole department with the Film Office, then something ain’t right. He can form a whole research department to make the (miserable) economic numbers work any way he sees fit, and no one will question it. Ask any of the regional economic development offices if Commerce as a whole is as effective as it used to be, and I’ll bet you’ll get a different story. The last thing this state needs in a Governor is a guy who thinks new companies will set up shop only because SC is “God’s country.” Oy vey…

After years of funneling taxpayer funds to his C.R. Neal Dream Center – the Office on Aging should make a great sponsor for a Bible Way Nursing Home.

Another day, another joke.

Run, Darrell. He has the temperament, maturity and savvy to pull it off. However, I believe we need to keep him in the Senate. Somebody has to be a voice of reason in that club.

Of course Bill Connor (the Orangeburg attorney and Silver Star winning Lt. Col. from Afghanistan who has been writing conservative columns for the Times and Democrat for 6 years) is already running as the only announced candidate, but since he’s not “inside the bubble,” I guess he’s not on your radar.

Funny thing, though, he’s getting a lot of traction around the state precisely because he isn’t in the Legislature.

I’ve heard that Joe Taylor is seriously interested in running for Gov. If he’s interested and looking to run, he should step down immediately to avoid a conflict of interest.
