Charlie – in case you check this – obviously you don’t know me very well, if at all. I’ve challenged Rich and company plenty. Just check out http://www.takebacksc.com or look at the times I’ve challenged Rich and his SCRG crowd on my blog. In fact, there are some Republicans who hate me for having done so.

I thought, as a realtor and a politico, you were a sharp guy who did his homework?

She’s a liberal, backed by the national Democratic party, and running with plenty of anti-union inherited money. I know who’s team she’ll play on, and therefore it gives me a pretty good idea of what she’ll do. That’s not what I want.

Is Linda out or not? Is it her intent to only whisper that she’s out of the closet until the campaign is over unless Henry Brown accepts the invitation to knock that chip off her shoulder?

Does the “mainstream” press shy away from the issue and bury it or not. Charlie Smith, whom I note has commented above, at least didn’t appear to hide the issue in his races against John Graham Altman III.

So is she really “out, loud and proud” or making like old “moth balls” back deep in the closet?

Regardless of her qualifications or character, an openly gay, liberal candidate has a tough row-to-hoe here in the lowcountry. Barney Frank couldn’t win down here and neither can Linda. Folks may watch the Ellen DeGeneres or Rosie O’Donnell on TV, but they don’t want their kid to grow to be homosexual. Voting for a gay may appear to some to be endorsing that lifestyle.

Also, check out those TV ads. Linda’s eyes flash to a “crazy lady” look that is a little scary.

Anyone who knows anything about Linda Ketner knows that very little of her money has ever gone to any effort without at least a challenge for the people involved in that effort to match what she contributes. If they are not willing to make at least an equal commitment to the effort, they don’t get a dime. I would say to Earl Capps that if you are truly opposed to outside money influencing politics in South Carolina then you should be attacking the Republican candidates who grovel at the first whiff of cash from Howie Rich http://www.howierichexposed.com/hidden_money.php.

As far as this race is concerned the million plus dollars that she has raised so far is not her money nor is it her family’s money. It comes from Republican and Democratic voters in this district who know Linda Ketner and who know what she inspires in people. It comes from people who want a better life for themselves and for all South Carolinians…people who have watched her make unbelievably good things happen for thousands of South Carolinians under the most difficult of circumstances. She’s the real deal.

Waldo, I suppose you’d find me more “thoughtful” if I backed the liberal candidate. Sorry, but that’s not me.

When inherited money comes from daddy, then daddy is relevant.

Why doesn’t she go back to NC and run? We’ve got an overabundance of someone-else’s money transplants here in the Lowcountry.

It’s interesting that when all else fails people seem to feel the need to blame others for things they beluieve the other person’s parent did. Of the Scoop I expect no more, nor less. This blog is abot self-promotion above all. Earl Capps however struck me as a more thoughtful fellow than his snarky comment here suggest. Oh well, live and learn. Partisan slagning matches apparently always win out in this state.

Real simple Brown has done nothing for the people of SC-1 He needs to be replaced. Linda can do the job. Bye Henry!

Let’s get the facts straight. Linda Ketner’s has outraised Henry Brown in this election cycle. Her ads are paid for by voters in this district who believe in what she has done and will continue to do to improve the lives of every citizen in this area. She has a long history of helping people, in the lowcountry and nationally, and has demonstrated her passion for public service. We would be lucky to have someone in Congress who is fighting for us, instead of helping real estate developers on Kiawah. Ketner even has a strong and growing base of Republican support in this state, which is justified by Brown’s abysmal record.

Linda should fire her ad agency. She is a much better person than the ads suggest. While not in her disctrict, I have strong ties to the low country, and feel she would be far better fo the area than Brown, who has done little or nothing of note.
