If Ravenel is convicted of distribution of cocaine, he can serve as much as 20 years in prison. I would say that it is more likely that he will cut a “plea deal” to serve a short amount of time behind bars along with probation.

If Ravenel cuts a “plea deal”, in other words, “pleads guilty” then the Feds should insist that he roll over on a “Bigger Fish” If he does not roll over, then he should do some serious jail time with the rest of the “Cocaine Distributors”.

American campaigns are the dirtiests in the world.

Well, not really. You don’t read about political rivals being beaten by police, here (like in Zimbabwe) or being arrested (like in Egypt), or being assassinated by the government (like in Russia).

So far the worst we’ve seen in the presidential election have been accusations that Romney isn’t a real Christian and that Democrats will surrender to the terrorists.

Bad enough, but everyone is still standing.
