"Roadkill" Hutto to enter race for McConnell Senate seat


Related topics: ,

As if drinking and driving dangerously weren't enough of a problem in the Lowcountry, several sources have informed the Blogland that former State Rep. Anne Peterson Hutto will be filing tomorrow for the State Senate seat recently vacated by Lieutenant Governor Glenn McConnell. This tentatively sets up a Democratic primary match-up between Hutto and former Charleston City Council member Paul Tinkler.

Something Hutto and Tinkler have in common: both were ousted from office by Republicans.

Observers give the tentative edge to Republicans to hold the seat, especially if a seasoned politico with high name recognition like Paul Thurmond enters the race (which is expected on Wednesday). We tend to agree as you can't win with those who were booted out of office - there's usually a good reason they were sent packing.

    At least Hutto has never pretended to be a Republican...

    OTOH Thurmond, McCoy, Pike et al leave me pondering who's on the bench to run for some house seats... do we see Barber back in 115?

    McCoy should be safe for the House. Thurmond should win the Senate seat. Only seat we need a candidate in is Stavrinakis, and they shored his seat up to make it more Demo anyway.

    We've had enough of your lies. Once she wins, it'll be your turn. Count on it.

    Just because John isn't a Politician, doesn't mean he's not a Contender. John attained the rank of Lt. Commander in the Navy and hase been trusted with Lowcountry Children for years as a teacher after that. You may know him from FairTax, but he has a lot of other ideas to improve SC too. He goes to everything and supports everyone and really it is a great chance for Republicans to show that they can elect someone that is NOT a politican. Steinberg for Senate -

    Terra, by literal definition, anyone who engages in the realm of politics is a politician. This means that even you're a politician.

    But I don't see that as a bad thing (or you as a bad person, in spite of the fact that you're a politician), as long as one keeps their sense of ethics while politicking.
