Condon rival uses 'debate' to offer his views on tax issue

If there was such a thing as a one-sided debate, this was it.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Wingate, fed up with Charlie Condon's refusal to compare tax plans one-on-one, did the next best thing:

He battled fiercely with a cardboard Condon cutout.

Positioned in a hotel conference room chair while Wingate lunged over revenue projections and tax fairness, Charlie Condon (the cutout version) sat silent, grinning and unyielding against Wingate's verbal barrage.

"There is no personal beef between us," Wingate said Thursday after his show for the media cameras in Mount Pleasant ended. "But there is a huge disagreement over which is the best tax and budgeting plan for South Carolina."
