Please Give.. Somewhere, a Starving Candidate Needs Your Help !
It's Noontime, September 29th, and across the state, the candidates for Governor, Lt. Governor and the other statewide and Federal seats are in full overdrive mode right now, trying to squeeze every last penny of donations that thy can before the quarter ends at midnight tomorrow.... I swear, last week I dropped my wallet and one of the Gubernatorial candidates picked it up and wouldn't give it back until they got my credit card number !! Good thing that card was maxxed out...
Some candidates will tell you that fundraising isn't that important. As a former candidate with no cash in the coffers, I can tell you unequivocally that's total bullshit - money is almost everything!!! Some of the candidates will need to start gaining traction this Fall, or they will quickly hit the 'also ran' category faster than an Alka Seltzer fizzles...
In the Big Seat race in Columbia (no, not Budget and Control Board), Larry Grooms, and to a lesser extent, Nikki Haley, need to make a good move to crack the Big Three. Even Andre Bauer has gotten lost in the shuffle a bit. In the Lt. Governor's race, we already know that Tim Scott and Ken Ard had so much good news, they couldn't wait to let it out. My guess is that Bill Connor will good, maybe not as good as Scott and Ard, but well enough to be a player in the race. Honestly, if Ted Pitts doesn't get some traction financially or otherwise, he may not last til Saturday's candidate forum in Goose Creek....
Yep, they're all balls to the wall today and tomorrow. If you want to avoid it, my advice is to shut off your laptop and cell phone, or at least stay off of Facebook and Twitter for the next 36 hours....
