The No. 1 imperative of FITS-Sanford is to push the idea of Momentum. They are doing this by Playing ANY endorsement, be it a sanitation worker or a funeral director, as gignified…it’s how hack consultants try to push their pathetic Clown as acceptable…

Sanford Desperately needs to be seen as weathering the adultery scandal…and back to be palatable…

So far, the low-level of un-importants endorsing him, only make him look like the Insider, status-quo, career politician, that is THE problem…

If an endorsement can hurt, because of the good ol’ boy syndrome, let’s hope that happening to Sanford…we don’t need to go backward….and Sanford is embarrassment, to real men (fathers and husbands) the GOP and South Carolina…

Teddy Turner took off for vacation once his ticket didn’t get punched. His campaign manager, Michael Smith, had the worst reputation of everyone you talked to of any campaign I’ve ever been around. That’s a first time candidate for you. Money can’t buy good decision making.

Maybe he forgot to add “the stepson of Hanoi Jane Fonda.”

Those of us who voted for Grooms and are now faced with Sanford / Bostic have a whole new perspective because it’s a whole new ball game. Grooms was a harmless, conservative, and scandal-free and almost-boring guy with no ox to gore. Even though Sanford is a national disgrace, a liar, and an egomaniac, I agree with him on the issues more than Bostic, whose intolerant social / religious agenda goes back to the Puritans — the folks who burned “witches.”

Most of us District One people don’t care who Grooms or Turner endorse.

+10000!!!! Endorsements are empty words from crony politicians. Too bad lots of voters are easily led by ‘what other people say about other people’ aka gossip.

Ray Nash endorsed Sanford today, and that may influence some people in Summerville / Dorchester County where Ray has a good reputation as an honest Joe. Bostic isn’t as well known there because he’s from Charleston County.
