| Description | Some South Carolina business leaders are upset with how Gov. Mark Sanford is handling the state's economy. Now they're trying to find someone to run against him in a 2006 Republican primary.
Bob Royall, a retired bank executive and former state commerce secretary under Republican Gov. David Beasley, is said to be considering a run.
"Bob is giving it serious thought," said Jerry Beasley, the former governor's cousin who has conferred with Royall and other businessmen. "I'm confident he'll run if the conditions are right."
Others acknowledge a search is under way to recruit a "legitimate" candidate. House Speaker Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston, is another name mentioned in political circles.
"I can't deny this is not taking place," said Republican consultant Warren Tompkins. |
