While in a year when cultural issues seem to finally be put in the background, SC is still 5 years behind and some great female candidates are trying to emerge here in SC on the state level.
We have no "rising stars" that could take on a Jim DeMint or Lindsey Grahm. Our prospects for Governor in 2010 are modest at best.
But we can have them if we build from the ground up.
Case in point are two great candidates, Mandy Powers Norrell for SC Senate, and Anne Peterson Hutto for SC House.
More below the fold
In Mandy Powers Norrell's race the polls are close. So what does the republican associated with New York real estate investor and school choice advocate Howard Rich group in NY do, sends out a gay baiting robocall you can hear for yourself.
Check out Mandy's website. She is great, caring, kind and can be a star in this state if given the chance. But she need help to win. If you can give 5 or 10 bucks please do.
Next is Anne Peterson Hutto. Again, kind, smart and able to bring some common sense to this sometimes backwards state.Look at her site and you can see she can be a rising star in this state as well.
Her opponent puts out crap against Anne on a constant basis. He too is supported by New York real estate investor and school choice advocate Howard Rich.
So while we talk about 50 state strategies and getting people in the Federal House of Rep, we in SC need to start from the ground up, proove ourselves in the lower chambers and build a good brand in SC. Any help fellow democrats can be useful. Thanks.
