Beasely could not win re-election as Governor- an incumbent Republican in a Republican state. He lost to...well, a retard. You are right about him attracting Democrats, though: he was one for years and still is one in his heart. He only joined the Republican party in the first place so he could win the governorship. Demint (ACU rating 100), Ravenel or Condon will wipe Tenenbaum off the map. This is no toss-up.

So was Ronald Reagan, and Strom Thurmond to cite a couple. The anti life, anti gun, pro gambling, welfare pushing Dem party left a lot of classic Southern pols behind. DB doesnt talk, act, or walk like a Dem. I will grant he is not a hard core conservative. I think when Sanford and Graham decide who they want to back, you will see movement. Its still anyone's race.
