Is Inez in?
TENENBAUM LAUNCHES GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN ON FACEBOOK
Like her state schools superintendent replacement, Democrat Inez Tenenbaum may be using the Internet to launch her 2010 campaign for governor. But unlike Jim Rex, who took office as South Carolina’s top educrat two years ago, Tenenbaum is being a bit more direct about her intentions.
A candidate page on the popular social networking site Facebook has recently appeared for Tenenbaum. And under the “Currently Running For” field, the page lists “Governor.”
The Palmetto Scoop has been unable to confirm its authenticity.
Tenenbaum currently has 102 supporters, including Columbia Mayor Bob Coble, City Councilwoman Tameika Isaac Devine and House District 79 candidate Anton Gunn.
If this group proves to be legitimate, it would be the first formal announcement of Tenenbaum’s intention to run for the Democratic nomination. As such, it could also trigger the requirement for her to file as a candidate with the state ethics commission. Failure to do so might put her in a similar position as her inter-party rival.
In April, Rex similarly used the Web to test the waters for his presumptive 2010 bid by launching GoodbyeMinimallyAdequate.com. Rex caught a good deal of flak when TPS noted that it was “nothing more than an exploratory Website” funded completely by a 501(c)(3) “tax deductible” charity — which would be a clear violation of state ethics laws.
But we weren’t the only ones giving Rex a hard time. Tenenbaum herself had a run-in with her successor at the state Democrat Party convention last month.
Along with her husband Sam and former Democrat Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian, Tenenbaum actively worked to block Rex’s nomination as a delegate to the national convention in Denver this summer.
After screwing up the state’s educational system, she thinks people will give her a chance to screw up the entire state? Same goes for Rex. We would move from disaster under Sanford to debacle under either of thoes two.
Jim Rex and his “GoodbyeMinimallyAdequate” is another example of Democratic “problem fixing”. It’s simply a FEEL GOOD MOVE and would not educate one child ! Democrats always seem to react to feelings and play on others’ feelings in order to stay in power or get elected into power and MONEY- that is OUR TAX MONEY.
If Inez wanted to run, she should get off some of her money.
Jim Rex should try and figure out why Abraham Lincoln and many others got educated in log cabins, sheds, slave houses, etc and not the mansion type schools we seem so determined to provide for the little dummies who are NOT inpsired by parents to learn nor are they taught to respect property or people.
Give the little dummies new schools and watch them be demolished.
