Carolina -3.5
Detroit +6
Indy -6
Bmore -8
Denver -3
Chicago -3
I loved KC but the Larry Johnson MySpace Rap thing might factor in as too much of a wild card. San Diego and Tennessee are also looking tempting, but never bet the Monday night game and never bet against Brett Favre at home.

GOP Making Racist Calls in S.C. State House Primary Fight

Republicans battling for the party’s nomination in a South Carolina State House primary stooped to unbelievable lows, even for the GOP.
Sources are telling FITSNews that a black woman calling herself “Shaniqua” has placed telephone calls to several Republican voters in Beaufort County urging them to vote for Shannon Erickson in today’s GOP State House runoff election. According to individuals who have received them, the calls say, “My name is Shaniqua, and I be voting’ for Shannon Erickson ’cause she gonna give me all the money I need sos I don’t hafta work.” Another phone caller, alleging to be Erickson herself, tells voters that she will “spend money like a drunken sailor” if elected. […]
The phoney phone calls have some Beaufort insiders pointing fingers at [primary opponent, Randy] Bates’ political consultant, Rod Shealy, particularly given their overtly racial overtones. Shealy pled guilty to election fraud years ago after hiring an unemployed black fisherman to run against his sister in an effort to frighten white voters.
Rod Shealy, Jr., who is managing Bates’ campaign, told FITSNews, “our campaign knows nothing about this, period.”
“Any campaign worth its salt would be much smarter than to send out something that transparent,” Shealy said.
Seriously! You have to conceal your dirty tricks better, Shealy knows. Shealy has a long-standing record that has earned him the title of “father of negative campaigning in the Palmetto State.”
