I stated my belief back in 2008 that Ravenel was targeted by the Dubya White House for destruction when it was clear he would be running to take out Graham. It was curious that he was “allowed” to run and beat an incumbent Dem Treasurer in 2006 when officials supposedly knew about his drug problems, but as soon as the Graham challenge materialized, they unleashed the dogs.
I will have zero sympathy if Ravenel’s candidacy this time helps take out Graham. Payback, as they say, is a bitch.
If “officials” knew he was a cokehead (which I’m not sold on at all) and were ignoring it until he was thinking about running against Graham then they were wrong for ignoring it initially, not for revealing it later!!!!! The democrats would have would have found out eventually, certainly if he were a Senate nominee, and that would have been awful.
I have no sympathy for drug addicts who have their careers ruined, especially if they’re Paulestinians.
