Today, I’m traveling with Ike McLeese and others with the Cola Chamber of Commerce to tour the Port of Charleston.
Call it a fact-finding mission. We’re on the hunt for facts, and when we find any we’ll club ’em senseless and skin ’em.
Blogging via Blackberry is tedious, so I’ll be posting on Twitter instead whenever possible. The address: http://twitter.com/BradWarthen
If I Tweet anything that interests you, please comment here.
In the meantime, here are a couple of things to think about on this runoff day:
— How many more dribs and drabs of previously undisclosed facts about the “transparent” Nikki Haley will come out? And I really hate to mention this, but will her decision NOT to release those e-mails from her public account really stand for four months?
— What will we think when we learn who “South Carolina Truth Squad” is? I regret that this is distracting from fact that Lord truly is more qualified. Nothing against Alan, but he’s only been a lawyer 7 years…

and flunked the bar exam that 85% of those taking it passed?
And if you do fail the bar, in SC all you have to do is get your dad to call the bar association and get them to throw that section out.
Call the Chief Justice, I think, actually…..
Brad said “Have you noticed how, increasingly, GOP in SC is only offering choice between the Jake Knotts wing or the Sanford wing? What happened here?”
Are there other wings? What wing is Rep. Skelton in? He made some good points during all the veto business.
Well, once upon a time, there was the Carroll Campbell center in the party.
Then there were other sensible folk such as Henry McMaster, who tried so hard to pander to the Tea Partiers in the primary, but they knew he was not one of them.
I’m afraid I don’t know enough about Mr. Skelton to characterize him. Perhaps he is an anachronism.
In any case, the genesis of that Tweet was that all the conflicts in the GOP seem to break down along that fault line. For instance, look at the thing between “SC Truth Squad” and Alan Wilson. Their attorney says they’re going after Jake and “other RINOs” next. That would seem to put Leighton Lord, in whose behalf this is being done, in the Sanford camp, whether he wants to be or not.
Meanwhile, in the governor column, Nikki of course equals Sanford, more completely than anyone else that could be said of. And Gresham Barrett — well, it doesn’t much matter what Gresham Barrett stands for, since you won’t hear about him after today.
