Gullick's challenger confused?

Does he support citizenship for illegal immigrants?

Did he vote to support Mark Sanford?

If you're the guy who is challenging York County representative Carl Gullick, the answer could be yes AND no, depending on when you're asked:

Kyle Boyd, the Christian school leader running to be a "true conservative light" in the state House, says he misspoke Thursday during a candidates forum when he said he supports granting citizenship to illegal immigrants.

Well ... which is it?

Among Boyd's platforms is that Gov. Mark Sanford needs more help to advance his reform agenda.

"He's not being supported like he should," Boyd said Thursday night. "I'm a true conservative Republican."

Boyd hasn't voted in an election since 2004, county and state records show. Sanford has appeared on two ballots in that time, a Republican primary and general election in 2006. Sanford won both contests.

Asked Friday about his absences, Boyd said: "That's a good question. I wasn't able to get away from school, that's all."

A short time later, Boyd re-contacted The Herald to say his recollection had changed and that he did vote in 2006. He declined to elaborate.

(Our thanks to Matt Garfield at The Herald for a good story.)

We guess the guy hasn't heard of absentee ballots? Or maybe he supported the Governor's agenda before he actually voted for it? Sounds a little like John "I was for it, but I was against it" Kerry to us.

We heard this guy was recruited to run against Gullick, but if this is what he can do in two days, we hate to see what the rest of his candidacy is looking like.
