“Tump-Tump?”

If the only reason – and we mean the only reason – that anybody would ever vote for you had to do with your name, why would you ever want to mess that up?

Seriously, “Carroll A. Campbell III” may have a whiff of Simpsonville to it, but in South Carolina it passes for distinguished – plus it’s got roman numerals, which Sic Willie can tell you is wildly popular with the ladies.

Yet because he hangs out exclusively with white people and lacks much in the way of brain cells, Carroll A. Campbell III has chosen to ditch his dignified patronymic and go with “Tumpy” instead.

Like … for his name.

And “Tumpy” – who recently announced that he was running for Congress – apparently has a sobriquet on top of that.

Specifically?

“Tump-tump.”

Yes, you read that right.

Apparently, this is the new moniker bestowed upon Campbell by his Charleston-based publicist/ ex-paramour/ girlfiend – who also happens to pose as an objective reporter for a local TV station in “Tump-Tump’s” would-be Congressional district.

Now don’t get us wrong, Sic Willie has absolutely no room to talk about illicit relations with the Fourth Estate. In fact, his whole “communications plan” during the early days of the Sanford media juggernaut was to sleep with as many TV babes as possible.

Worked pretty well, too.

But last time we checked, none of them ever kicked the “tan in a can” … nor did they ever say anything as ridiculous as “Tump-Tump.”

Oh, and Sic never felt the need to feed them questions to ask at gubernatorial press conferences, either …

His ex girlfriend may be from Charleston but the rest of Charleston has long memories of how Daddy sold out the Naval Base but left no stone unturned for BMW.

So the homewrecker calls him “Tump Tump”? I bet Tumpy’s first wife calls her a name that begins in w- and ends in -hore.

As a lowcountry voter, I remember that Tumpy’s father was a great friend to the Upstate while he was Governor. Someone already mentioned the passing up on the Naval Base for BMW in the Upstate.

People around here know that it will take more from Carroll Campbell, III to win then to have a vacation house in Debordieu and carpetbagging to Charleston.

His mom originally called him “mamma’s little tump tump” thats where Tumpy came from. So his girlfriend did not originate tump tump. Iris has been calling him that for years.

What a way to talk about one of your friends! I guess you take no prisoners.

Will – nasty personal attacks like this serve no purpose. Ask him about where he stands on this issues and why he thinks he should represent the 1st Congressional District. If you have disagreements with him, then expressing those differences helps shape the debate!
