Greeting to New Mexico Democrats from DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schulz - Video
So Vincent Sheheen turned up in Charleston this week, calmly and rationally bashing the tar out of Gov. Nikki Haley's education track record.
He pointed out that she's cut $110 million from education in her four years in office, that 81 of her 200 budget vetoes have been targeted at teachers and the classroom. "Failed leadership," he called it.
The Democrats - well, the few who were there - were happy to hear this spirited attack. See, some local Dems don't think the veteran state senator is running a very good campaign.
In fact, they are upset. They see Haley everywhere - eating burritos with Chris Christie, having suspected non-right wing bloggers run out of campaign events, showing up at every Starbucks opening to claim she's the reason those high-paying jobs are here.
Meanwhile, they only see Sheheen in Haley campaign ads, his face photo-shopped a la O.J. Simpson.
They expect more from the guy who lost a nail-biter in 2010. In fact, some of them have been trying to scrape up the money to put Sheheen's face on a milk carton.
Have you seen this candidate? He was last seen putting a big ol' scare into the GOP in 2010.
Four years ago, Sheheen took 47 percent of the vote in the governor's race to Haley's 51.4 percent.
That was two years into President Obama's term, when the tea party movement was at its apex, and Sheheen nearly pulled off a monumental upset in a state about as red as Little Orphan Annie's dress.
That showing won him the right to a rematch, and earlier this year Democrats were expecting big things. Because Haley now has a record, and it is decidedly mixed.

WASHINGTON - Democrats took down a controversial attack ad in a heated South Jersey congressional race Tuesday, even as the Philadelphia-born firefighter in the ad stood by its message.
The cable TV spot attacked Republican candidate Tom MacArthur, accusing him of profiting from his former company, York Risk Services, as the insurance services firm denied claims from injured Phoenix firefighters.
But MacArthur had sold the company and left it nearly a year before York got involved with the firefighters' claims. His campaign threatened to sue the Washington-based Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) over the ad, which began running Sunday in the Burlington and Ocean Counties district.
MacArthur called the DCCC's decision to pull the ad "a victory for the truth." In a news release he also called it "a devastating blow to the empty, dishonest campaign" of his opponent, Democrat Aimee Belgard, and accused her of being a "puppet" of the "Washington, D.C., handlers" behind the attack.
Belgard, a Burlington County freeholder, has strong backing from the DCCC, which sees the South Jersey race as one of its few good chances this year to pick up a GOP-held seat.
The Phoenix fire captain featured in the ad, John Teefy, said he stood by his criticism of the York firm and of MacArthur, even though the candidate sold the company before it got involved with the Phoenix Fire Department.
"Companies don't all of a sudden create a new culture in one year when the boss leaves. The boss sets the tone," Teefy, a fire captain for 15 years, said Tuesday in an interview.
For years, he said, he has faced persistent insurance delays as he coped with job-related injuries, including one that required surgery in August to fuse together two vertebrae. He accused York of pressuring his doctors to suit their business needs.
