T-Rav Makes It Official

PALMETTO POLITICAL BAD BOY WILL CHALLENGE GRAHAM AS INDEPENDENT Thomas Ravenel has an expression: “Two out of three ain’t bad.” It’s a reference to his business career and political ideology being in order – but his personal life being something of a disaster. How big a disaster? Well, let’s just…

PALMETTO POLITICAL BAD BOY WILL CHALLENGE GRAHAM AS INDEPENDENT

Thomas Ravenel has an expression: “Two out of three ain’t bad.” It’s a reference to his business career and political ideology being in order – but his personal life being something of a disaster.

How big a disaster?

Well, let’s just say “T-Rav’s” reality television show Southern Charm hasn’t exactly portrayed his personal life in the most flattering light. Sure, there have been moments when the former statewide official appears to be on the verge of evoking some sympathy or identification in the wake of his 2007 fall from grace – but then the whole thing devolves into an alcohol-soaked mess.

Confident of his ability to rehabilitate his reputation, though, Ravenel announced this week that he will enter the 2014 U.S. Senate race in South Carolina – well, provided “Republican” Lindsey Graham wins the GOP nomination later this spring.

“I’ll throw my hat in as an Independent,” Ravenel said on Bravo TV’s Watch What Happens Live.

The mainstream media reacted with predictable derision.

“Can we throw our hat in the anti-Ravenel ring, please?” reporter Erin Shaw wrote for The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper.

Ah, journalistic objectivity …

Anyway, Shaw’s “unbiased” view aside Ravenel clearly has a huge hurdle to overcome – regardless of how Southern Charm resolves its first season.

Working in his favor? Cash money …

Unlike the field of GOP candidates currently challenging Graham, Ravenel can match the incumbent’s $7 million mountain of special interest money dollar-for-dollar. That means he can drive a counter-narrative to the “disgraced playboy” image that’s currently bogging down his aspirations.

Speaking of, Ravenel is reportedly planning to address his 2007 drug bust in more detail – including the political impetus for the investigation into his private life.

We’ll keep a lookout out for that massive …

And doesn’t have anything better to do with his time or money? Maybe. I just hope he will be a “stalking horse” for Nancy Mace and drop out to free his supporters and endorse her — rather than the other way around. That is all that could possibly justify all the bandwidth devoted to this Holy City has-been.

The Holy City has a thing for Rhett Butler types

Ravenel will attract a lot of voters and in turn will get a lot of votes

Right now Graham is over 50% against any candidate in the general election but with a little luck and a dab or two of Dapper Dan Pomade who knows what can happen

So here’s my argument:

How much of SC can related to being a former drug user that still drinks while being/having a ‘Baby Daddy’ as part of their daily lifestyle?

Or, like the old quote attributed to Willie Sutton (famous bank robber from the 1920’s and 30’s), although he denies ever uttering the line. When asked by the FBI why he robbed banks, he supposedly said, “Because that’s where the money is.

Strangely enough, we actually use “Sutton’s Law” in the threat assessment business, meaning that the simplest, most elegant, and obvious option is usually the correct one (obviously a takeoff on Occam’s razor as well). In other words, if you hear hoof beats running behind you, think horses (not zebras) and you’ll be right without looking 99.9999% of the time.

As for me, though, I don’t consider this combat. This is my 15 minutes of daily zen. I can’t imagine rolling around at HuffPo or lobbing missives at my boy Rachel Maddow on an MSNBC blog as a hobby. I have excellent blood pressure, and would like to keep it that way. To each his (or her) own, though…

euwe max April 10, 2014 at 3:03 pm

if you hear hoof beats running behind you, think horses (not zebras) and you’ll be right without looking 99.9999% of the time.

——

if you intend for this to be generalizable, I suggest you change the % to cover “real life” threat assessment.

For instance, in Bill O’Reilly’s war on Christmas… (assessed as a real threat)

“Xmas” did not originate as a secular plan to “take the Christ out of Christmas”. X stands for the Greek letter Chi, the starting letter of???????, or “Christ” in Greek. The use of the word “Xmas” in English can be traced to the year 1021 when “monks in Great Britain…used the X while transcribing classical manuscripts into Old English” in place of “Christ”. The Oxford English Dictionary’s “first recorded use of ‘Xmas’ for ‘Christmas’ dates back to 1551.”
So your first assessment of cause of a threat might not even be registering an actual threat at all, much less evaluating its source correctly.

Mike at the Beach April 10, 2014 at 4:45 pm

Whoa baby! You’re way beyond where I was going… Sutton’s Law and Occam’s razor work at every level, period. I don’t think the “War on Christmas” crowd has found an elegant, simple, obvious theorem. I think what you’re talking about with these conspiracy theory-types and zealots is more a causality error (or maybe they’re just conspiracy theory kooks).

euwe max April 10, 2014 at 5:39 pm

Sutton’s Law and Occam’s razor work at every level, period.

Wow! I didn’t think I could sucker you in so easily! Woo hoo! So, “every level, period.” There are a few dozen Grandmasters that would have truck with that percentage, as well.

You understand… nothing personal.

Mike at the Beach April 10, 2014 at 5:42 pm

As I said, you left me behind on that one (but remember that both theorems say “usually,” not “always.” Plus, I pulled that 99.9999% out of my ass. I was traveling down a different road… ;-)

Erin,
Since you are an actual reporter, could you inquire why a convicted felon who is not allowed to vote in a federal election can run as a candidate in that same election? You can’t vote for the people who make laws, but you can make them? Seriously? That can’t be true.
Oh, and I can’t help but note the incredible irony of FITS questioning your “journalistic objectivity” in an article in which he is pimping (and I choose that word most deliberately) his own skeevy client who is announcing his faux political intentions (albeit conditional) on a reality TV show also being pimped by FITS and “starring” FITS.

Mr. Ravenel would not be a good Republican candidate. He is not a big enough of a hypocrite. He doesn’t profess to love Jesus. He probably does not profess to believe that God created the Heavens and the Earth in 6 days and that Noah got two of every animal on a boat. He hasn’t lied about his sex life and he can’t commit adultery because he isn’t married. Unlike the other criminals currently in office, he was convicted. And he probably believes in (and may have paid for) a few abortions. And he can’t be bribed because he already has plenty of money. So why would SC want him?

You give very bad advice if you let you candidate half announce, maybe, kinda, conditionally. To say nothing of doing it on Bravo (rather than to his constituents) it gives a voter no confidence in his seriousness or credibility. It’s idiocy.

Then the people sitting with him, people who know him best all laugh at his “announcement.” More confidence – check!

So, if, maybe he runs he has no natural constituency. He then gets tangled in the age old Libertarian web of drug legalization. His record will force him to defend his position and he loses everyone.

Brad Hutto will enjoy it. I may as well, but I’m cynical.

I have to say, this is the most rational piece Will has served up on his boy to date. It almost admits that NO ONE (well, no serious person) believes that this will be anything but a vanity campaign. Here’s a quick recap/list of the items with which Sugarbritches’ people will be beating Ravenel over the head (Sugarbritches himself, of course, will never utter his name or refer to him in any way unless joking). Renounced his US citizenship in a hissy fit after drug conviction because he could no longer buy guns, party with coke, etc. (failed to actually follow up on his very public promise to do so, however, so that’s actually a twofer). The whole drug use/legalization thing (this is redneck, red-ass SC, bro). For politicos with a more subtle feel for things, how about the hypocrisy of his rants against “buttoned-down politicians” who don’t speak their true minds (uh, you mean like he was when he ran for Treasurer?). How about the personal life in general? Could that could be used as a sign of immaturity, hubris, lack of self awareness, etc.? Naaah. International experience? Misunderstanding military base stats in an op-ed and partying in the islands won’t make for good TV ads (except attack ads directed at him, of course). This is, of course, all theoretical in nature. No one in their right mind will spend any money attacking him unless his numbers are phenomenal, and they won’t be. He will raise a little cash, spend an ass of his cash, and get what he *really* wants, which is not a seat in the US Senate, but attention. Look…at…me.

Once she wipes the smile off of “his” face, we hope she gets a “Jasper” landfill photo and trots on down to have an interview with the entire Parris Island Chain of Command…!!

We wonder if she will let Mr. Wil Folks tag along.??

Ravenel and Jenny Sanford should take a slow boat. To China.

White trash.

What’s wrong with Jenny? She has not been in the limelight lately and has not made any announcement of any kind.

His drivers license has been suspended for 6 months. But that isn’t a deterrent to him I’m sure,

They’ve got to be married by now, right? I mean what can possibly keep them from holy matrimony after their lightning strike conversion to soulmates in 2008, ordained by God and blessed by Jenny. Maybe they have been reading ChumpLady.com’s articles on Jesus Cheaters. Maybe Belen is sick of the love bombing and is becoming more enlightened about the mind fu<kery of the disordered.

He’s got quite a desire to piss away his coke money. If its between an independent Ravenel, Graham and a nameless democrat I’ll vote for the libertarian.
