Welcome to S.C. Hotline

Originally founded by politicos Mike Green and Jeffrey Sewell it is and will forever be the original political insiders news blog of South Carolina.  For over 20 years, I covered local news and politics for newspapers, the most recent being The Myrtle Beach Herald.

When the Herald was sold in Spring 2009, I went into semi-retirement to focus on a book. In the intervening period, I also served as a caregiver to my wife, Kathy, as she battled stage four colon cancer. Ultimately, we lost the battle, and Kathy passed on August 9, 2011.

With the extra time I now have, I am diving back into the news business with several online magazines of regional interests, mine and hopefully yours.

The focus of the publication will be state and local news and politics, as well as profiles of people and editorials on timely subjects.

Visit us every day to see our latest updates and please feel free to submit your story ideas to us.

    Jeffery,

    Thanks for all the good work in the 2006 campaign. Data is boring, but you made it work for us.

    Now, as far as the Ascot, hmmm, the jury is still out. I will get back to you the Deb season…

    Does the power of the Sewell come from the Ascot? From a simple piece of cloth?

    Dare I drop the bow-tie and try “a Sewell”?

    If only I could harness the power of the A.

    Thanks for the SC Hotline. I travel a lot and it is very helpful.

    I hope you can do more independent reporting as SC media is very slack in the regard.

    Thanks again.

    WOW!

    A conservative political consultant helps Republicans win races in the one of the most conservative/republican states in the nation…

    Thanks for your Ravenel piece in the Greenville News. Sounds like you are not a lock em up and throw away the key person.
    As Greenville County’s first Public Defender (22 years), I am well acquainted with Donnie Myers and the record of Lexington County. Was this just a Ravenel thing or can we count on your continued support for justice in sentencing.
    Will look forward to your reply.

    Pete Partee,

    Absolutely, I have felt this way for years, it did become very personal with regard to my friend Thomas Ravenels situation. Neither should have received jail time based on what we know of the situation and original charges.

    Miller was used and allowed to sell drugs in order to snare Ravenel. We collectively regardless of party need to agree upon our priorities and our beliefs that the rehabilitation of non-violent offender is the right thing to do.

    We have with no help from my own party have become a punitive and not rehabilitative oriented society.

    Jeff,

    Been some years, man! Looks like you’re doing well for yourself and your finger’s firmly on the pulse of SC politics…if you ever want to reminisce about the ComPro.SC days, drop me a line.

      We should do that, I sure miss the challenge of those projects. Dreher HS being one of the toughest places in the world to place fiber (3ft’ thick concrete) is now gone ten years later and rebuilt, now you know that building was good for another 30 years minimum… just sayin!

    Jeffrey,

    You may be Big Stuff on the political insider stuff, but you’re dead wrong about Rick Perry for President. He’s THE hand-picked choice of the Bilderberg Group, meeting recently in Switzerland.

    Anyone who gets their Stamp of Approval is NO friend of mine or the USA! Same goes for Newt Gingrich, and his membership in the CFR…it’s a fact!
