Karen Floyd-----------------------Michael Reese
I wish I was running in the race for SC Superintendent of Education, let's take a look at 2 resume's and decide which candidate has the best qualifications of the two.
Candidate A - Michael Reese
Father was a school teacher for 19 years, mother was a school teacher as well. Brother and sister-in-law are both current school teachers. Attended public school for 12 years, 4 year college degree, currently works at a college.
Candidate B - Karen Floyd
A lawyer and businessperson who served four years on the Spartanburg County Council. Former Prosectuor. Sent his/her kids to private school until a year and a half ago. Attended a 4 year college and law school. Became the first female Chairman of County Council in Spartanburg
Now, while you're trying to decide between Karen Floyd and Michael Reese, Go ahead and take a look at Jim Rex's resume. He will be going up against Karen Floyd this November, so it's not Michael Reese vs. Karen Floyd, its Karen Floyd vs. Jim Rex.
Jim Rex has spent most of his adult life making a difference for the children, families, schools, and communities of South Carolina. As a high school English teacher, football coach, and higher education leader, he has made public education his life's mission. Now, Jim is poised to take his leadership to the Office of State Superintendent of Education on a platform of innovation, competitiveness, and common sense solutions to the challenges our public schools face. Having served as Dean of Education at Winthrop University, as well as Coastal Carolina University, Jim knows what it takes to create a teaching force for South Carolina that is second to none. As the former President of Columbia College, he also knows the importance of preparing South Carolina's students, not just for higher education, but for the real world they face as working adults. As State Superintendent of Education, he will work to make sure that every student in South Carolina receives an education that will prepare them, not just for competition within our own borders, but for competing in a global market place with others from throughout the world.In addition to those posts, Jim is also the former Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations at the University of South Carolina, where he retired in 1999 after serving his final tenure there as Vice President of University Advancement. He is a published author and has served as a top consultant to education advocacy organizations like the National Institute of Education and Governor Dick Riley's South Carolina Educator Improvement Task Force. But his work extends beyond the education realm. Jim has also lent his time and talents to a variety of community organizations, including serving as Chair of Clean Water South Carolina; a member of the Palmetto Conservation Foundation board of directors; and chair of the Palmetto Trail. He is also the former chair of the board of the Nurturing Center, a facility created to help abused children.Along with his list of work and accomplishments, Jim's family and his faith remain the cornerstones of his life. The grandson of a Methodist minister, Jim has worked to instill the traditional values he learned from his upbringing in the four children he shares with his wife, Sue: Adam, Jeff, Nathan, and Siri.

It's a shame we don't choose our elected officals based on their being 'qualified' for the office they seek. Instead it seems they are chosen by the way they twist a phrase, or how they comb their hair, or How Much Money They Have To Spend, etc., etc., etc!
Where would our country be now if we had elected WISER citizens, to make wiser decisions for our nation during these last 6 years? What a difference there would be today!!
Unless there is a picture found with her lying naked next to a donkey (remember she use to be a huge Democrat), she has this race locked up come November.
To bad your little blog that only has 50 visitors a day couldn't make a difference.
How insignificant are you? Put your index finger to your chin and look up to ponder this question =).
Actually, Karen Floyd received 120,246 votes. If my blog would have not been created, I know for a fact she would have earned 120,248 votes. And, I don't know if your blind or just can't read, I'm sure your looking at my counter stats and see that I've been getting over 100 hits a day. Just becuase Karen is fake and misleading, that doens't mean that you have to be.
By the way, since my website isn't making a difference,(my news/blog has only made the papers twice, P&C being one of them) and we'll assume that she wins this November....... remember, the value on my KarenFloydforGovernor.com websites that I have bought...... increase by the day.
Karen Floyd vs. Jim Rex is no contest if the voters can "critically analyze" the qualifications, experience, and credentials of each. Jim is a thoroughbred when it comes to his understanding of education and his vision for its future. Karen Floyd is a swayback nag who shouldn't even be in the stable, much less the race. I don't believe there are any drugs Mark Sanford, Jim DeMint, or Lindsey Graham can give her to make her a "winner" for the future of South Carolina Education. Let's hope the citizens of South Carolina know how to pick a winner and put their money on the thoroughbred.
I actually didn't know much about him before reading this entry. It's interesting that in both the Lt. Gov. race and the Sec. of Education race, the Democrats easily have the most qualified candidates.
Like my friend Whitney said the other month, he has a resume longer than all of our bartabs combined. Spend 5 minutes talking to this guy and he'll blow your mind. I honestly don't see how any voter, republican or democrat can look at him and her and say that she's a better candidate, it's not even close.
ooooooohhhhhhh..... did he say 100 hits a day???? Impressive. (wink wink) I have been to a 5 year olds birthday party at a skating rink with more people than that.
thats actually pretty funny, lol
I bet Judas doesn't have 100 different #'s in his cell phone. Right now, at 9:19pm, your counter is at 84 different visitors, I'm glad Judas could be apart and contribute to that #84.
fair play I have 99 numbers in my phone right now. What do you say...... can I have your number to make it an even 100?
