Looks like South Carolina Democrats will have a viable U.S. Senate contender after all.
Rock Hill attorney Chad McGowan told the York County Democratic Party's Executive Committee last Tuesday that he plans to run for Republican Jim "Waterloo" DeMint's U.S. Senate seat in 2010.
Reportedly, McGowan plans to launch his campaign in early October and will take a year off from his job at McGowan, Hood & Felder to pursue the Democratic nomination.
At the moment, his campaign website is still under construction.
McGowan's entrance into the Senate race is a positive sign for S.C. Democrats. He's a successful litigator with the financial resources and time to mount a credible challenge to the incumbent, who's currently sitting atop a respectable $2.6 million war chest.
McGowan will face retired automotive executive Mike Ruckes in the Democratic primary.
