After his weasel-like Confederate flag flip-flop in 1998, I'd have a damned hard time voting for this guy. I'd be much more likely to stay home. Weaseley always reminded me way too much of a Republican version of Bill Clinton (minus the adultery and sex)...too smug, too smarmy, too political.

He got elected promising to leave the battle flag on the Statehouse, then did a fast 180 and decided to pull it down, I guess in the hopes of convincing the NAALCP and black racists that he wasn't a Klansman or something. Well, all he did was cut his own political throat. The flag-supporting conservative base deserted him in their thousands, and at the same time Unca Jim Hodges came along with his one-note "vote for me and you'll get a lottery for the chirrrun" campaign. I really think that Weaseley could've squeaked out a win had he not basically flipped off the flag supporters and his conservative base.

Weaseley, stay on your farm and do your humanitarian work, and leave the leading to leaders instead of poll-following rubberspines like yourself, 'k?

Thanks very much for the background. Sounds like Beasley isn't exactly a profile in courage. Who do you like for Senate?
