Peter McCoy is the best choice. He is young, conservative, and articulate. Solid fiscal voting record in the state house, and he would fit the current dynamic of Duncan, Gowdy, Mulvaney, and Wilson well.
I think we are going to see a Bostic surge. I know them and I know that his son Daniel is closely connected with right wing wacko Jon Voight – don’t be surprised if he makes his son pull out his hollywood connections for some last minute $$$.
Kind of weird we have Turner Sr. with all the name recognition for his son and we have Daniel Bostic who has more name recognition than his dad Curtis. LOL
The good news is, 15 of these bastards are going to lose in the primary.
