Most of the pictures in the slideshow are from Gervais Bridges at Barbecue & Politics. Unfortunately, Gervais retired his blog the other week. In honor of his legacy, the slideshow and song below are dedicated to him. The blog posted underneath comes from BBQ & Politics on June 28, 2006, the day after Andre Bauer defeated Mike Campbell in the run-off. My personal favorite and an instant classic.

Wednesday, June 28, 2006 - Bauer endorses Dale Moore for First Lady
Endorsement not actually an endorsement except it is, says Lt. Governor
B & P News - Columbia In a surprise move yesterday, South Carolina Lt. Governor and recent primary runoff victor Andre Bauer endorsed Dale Moore, wife of Senator Tommy Moore (D-Clearwater) for the office of First Lady of South Carolina.
“She’s the right person for the job,” said Bauer in an interview Tuesday evening at his victory celebration at an Irmo restaurant. “I don’t do endorsements, so don’t take this as an endorsement, but I endorse Dale Moore for First Lady of South Carolina.” Bauer was pulled over – but not ticketed – for driving 101 mph on Interstate 77 in February.As the news of Bauer’s endorsement spread throughout the state’s political circles, not everyone was pleased.
Some think the Lt. Governor overstepped his bounds by endorsing Mrs. Moore.“It’s just tacky is all it is,” said Jenny Sanford, the incumbent First Lady of South Carolina. “What business does the Lt. Governor have chiming in on who should be First Lady?”
Some political analysts agree that the endorsement of Dale Moore was inappropriate.“Popularly elected public servants should hold their tongues rather than meddling with the ceremonial positions in South Carolina’s not-really-government,” said USC political science professor Savannah Rivers. “Plus, you never know when endorsements like this can backfire.”Governor Sanford said he had no comment on the Dale Moore endorsement, but will contact reporters with his opinion “as soon as it is given to [him].”
