Rumors have it that if Michael Thurmond jumps to the Lt. Governor’s race, a Republican free-for-all will likely ensue with other candidates joining Brent Brown in the melee.
Two other names have surfaced as possibilities: former state senator Robert Lamutt and current state representative Clay Cox.
The whole town laughed at my great-grandfather, just because he worked hard and saved his money. True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out everyday. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then. Plus, he broke his leg and the doctor's bills were real high.

How many Lumutt rumors are there going to be. SoS now this, why didn’t he jump in earlier?

Beth is right. Someone needs to remind Mr. Lamutt that he can only run for one office at a time – or at least tell the people who spread these rumors.
