I don't know this Ravenel well. Who is he? Was his father a "moderate" Republican congressman from SC who threatened to turn Democrat in the early 1990s but was persuaded not to do so by the late RNC chair Lee Atwater? Whatever happened to Mrs. Atwater, by the way?

For what it is worth, I believe that I read somewhere that he is distant kin to Charles "Pug" Ravenel.
