If Beasley lost his re-election race for Governor, is he really a strong candidate?

He polls strongest against Inez.

If Beasley lost his re-election race for Governor, is he really a strong candidate? See number 3. It took a strong Democrat year in '98, heavy black turnout, massive anti-Beasley spending by gambling interests, and fresh voter anger over the relocation of the Confederate flag to sweep Jim Hodges into office.
2004 will be a GOP year, there's no indication of strong black turnout, gambling won't be an issue, and the flag thing is over and has been resolved. Some people will hold grudges, but not enough to make a difference, I think.
News reports just indicate Beasley did, in fact, announce today that he's running, so it's officially official.

Beasley is a RHINO.He lost to "Goober Hodges" who was dumped big time by Mark Sanford.He got a "Profile in Courage" award from the Kennedy School for being a "loser" and taught a course in "losing" up there at Harvard as a consolation prize.He's a neer do well opportunist who jumped parties to run for Governor in 1994 or 95.He'an empty suit at best!

This is what I was wondering. Might not a new face be better?
