If she’s wanting to eliminate a potential gubernatorial rival, she’ll appoint Curtis Loftis. Would keep him busy on the national stage and out of SC politics…which would be good for the Governor.
LOftis might not can beat her but he will bloody her up. It will cost her millions to beat him and then she is left standing there with little or no money, her reputation bruised, and looking at a well funded, tanned and rested Senator Sheehen.
We republicans are going to lose the gov’s mansion for the first time in years and honestly I think we deserve too. We govenrn like greedy school kids.
Maybe she does have someone in mind and is waiting for the response. I’m guessing it may be Jenny Sanford because she owes her big on winning the nomination and the election.
Note the related articles to this post.
Especially the First Lady’s family wants their money back.
Nope. Jenny probably knows about the China trip.
Well she is on Haley’s short list anyway.
Why hasn’t she appointed someone by now?
She is milking it, because it keeps her name in the national media. Can’t say I blame her, but another day or two and it starts to get ridiculous.
Blagoavich has some tips concerning the vetting “process”…
Maybe Nikki doesn’t realize how fucking golden this thing is.
Political Wire reports:
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) has whittled down the list of people she is considering for Sen. Jim DeMint’s (R-SC) soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat to five people, CNN reports.
Her final choices: Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), former state Attorney General Henry McMaster (R), former South Carolina First Lady Jenny Sanford (R) and attorney Catherine Templeton (R).
probably go the girl route
