Garnet, your theory is as good as anything I can think of.

Some years ago I was in [a foreign country] having a nice lunch at a quaint outdoor cafe with [a local offical]. Down the street about a half block away a fight broke out. First between two guys, then several others joined in. “I wonder what that’s about.” I said to my companion. He looked at the brawl for a few seconds then at his watch. “One o’clock.” he said, returning to his meal

“They’re fighting over the time of day?”

“No. It’s one o’clock. It’s what those people do at one o’clock.”

The juvenile nonsense above reminded me of that. I wonder why?

One can read this stuff and just feel the love. Thank God I work in the private sector, where we don’t engage in these kinds of pissing matches with our competitors.

Riley, you obviously don’t read his blog. I don’t blame you… nobody else reads it either.

We wonder why the level of discourse in politial campaigns in SC has sunk to such levels. SC has created this subculture of political “operatives”. I’d be willing to bet that most of these folks were the fat kid in the corner at the dance.
Have we gotten so pathetic as a state that a person cannot simply run a campaign with dedicated volunteers. I know that is naive, but all these self-important, pompous asses strutting around in their ill-fitting suits, wearing bow ties they just learned how to tie, or even worse, ascots, makes me sick to the stomach.

I don’t see the connection between Wes Wolfe and the Warren Tompkins/First Tuesday. As far as I can tell Wes Wolfe is a former reporter for an alternative liberal-leaning newspaper in Columbia who has also worked on Democratic campaigns. Now his blog is somehow connected to or affiliated with one of the top GOP consultants in SC?

Wes,

You are clearly the fat kid from middle school who was picked on a lot. Then you got a computer and pretended to be Harden Gervais or John Vierdsen so that you could let out some of your pent up rage and insecurity from being the kid who stood alone in the corner at the 8th grade dance wearing a Hawaiian t-shirt, cargo shorts, and Chuck Taylor’s with no socks.

In eleven franchise seasons on Madden 08, my beloved Colts have lost just once – in a game “last year” to the Philadelphia Eagles. That is at “All-Pro” level, baby. I create and name my players. I make custom jerseys for them to wear. I make sure they all have team color ankle tape. I worry about whether certain imaginary receivers are getting the ball enough. I signed former Gamecock Sidney Rice to a long-term deal, even though in the year 2020 he’s pushing 40.

I have a problem. I am a loser.

Wait, are we supposed to be talking about politics?

I will say that Wes Wolfe was man enough to call me after his previous comment to correct some factual inaccuracies in my post.

So here is the correction:
- Wes Wolfe has been in the campaign “arena” before and helped the Democrats in there efforts in 1998 as well as having involvement in some State House campaigns in Florida while at USC.

- Wes also does not play Madden and sold his X-Box.

Wes, if you’re reading this, I do look forward to Wes Wolfe’s future blog post on a proposed detante for the SC Blogosphere and finding ways to rise above the fray.

OK, I apologize for that. No need to escalate the battle.
