Turnipseed Considers Run For South Carolina Attorney General
Former state senator Tom Turnipseed, famed for anti-utility campaigns, says he is near launching a bid for attorney general to succeed Daniel R. McLeod. He notes strong private support but warns his flamboyant record could help or hurt statewide viability. He has previously failed in a 1974 governor bid and later in a 1978 Democratic nomination and a 1980s congressional race.
