| Description | COLUMBIA--For the past five years, former Gov. David Beasley has been raising his four kids with his wife on their Pee Dee farm, coaching Little League and sometimes traveling to Asia and Africa to do humanitarian work.
His public life has become a distant memory. It is no accident, he said, that he lives far from the "political morass" of the Capital City.
But now he's finding that fate can be something of a wise guy: Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in.
Encouraged and flattered by private polls that say he would trounce every candidate in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate, Beasley said Friday that he is giving "serious thought" to entering the race to replace outgoing Sen. Fritz Hollings.
"My wife and I and the children are going to have to give some great thought to it and listen to some of my friends and neighbors across South Carolina," Beasley said. "I love my family, my state and my country. I've got to figure out how best to serve all three, with my family being the priority."
