Meeting my readers at the Lowcountry GOP Unity Rally

Today, I attended the regional Lowcountry GOP "Unity Rally" down in Goose Creek.

In attendance were five of the nine GOP statewide candidates, Henry Brown, and about two dozen local candidates (state House, county, and school boards) and legislators. The turnout matched the 250 who turned out at the 2004 rally, quite impressive for an off-year election cycle.

In its second election year, this event drew candidates, elected officials and GOP faithful (not counting the statewide candidates) from far away places such as Orangeburg and Florence Counties, for what is probably the single biggest political event in the Lowcountry, outside of presidential campaign events.

While there, I had the opportunity to speak with several of my blog readers (who will remain nameless) and was really flattered to know ya'll tune in. I'm really flattered that ya'll are reading what I put out there, and appreciate your interest in my ramblings.

Thanks, keep coming back, and feel free to share some thoughts!

    Let me guess, no Mosteller or Hartley in sight and no wonder I'm getting this scoop ex post facto...

    As I said yesterday via phone sorry I missed this event. You guys really have it going on. I hope we have 25 % of your crowd in Clarendon County on September 14. You want see Mosteller or Hartley there either but they are invited by yours truly.

    Yup, the PUB crowd that matters. Edwin Taylor was probably in the background as an Engleman or two would be. Not suprised though that the East Cooper regieme couldn't be troubled, underscores why Madame chair was and is unsuitable for state party chair, lest we really can make e-commuting work (if so, maybe I could back Rick Beltram, til then Ken Wingate is my choice dark horse).
