Salt-N-Pepa Endorses Shoopman

In a rare foray into South Carolina politics, members of the popular 1990's R&B/hip-hop group Salt-N-Pepa have endorsed Republican Phil Shoopman in the House District 18 race in Greenville County, calling his election to the seat "Very Necessary."

"Shoop. Shoop-a-doop, Shoop-a-doop, Shoop-a-doopa-doopa-doop," said Cheryl James, a.k.a. Salt.

"Whatta man, whatta man, whatta man, whatta mighty good man," said Sandy Denton, a.k.a. Pepa.

Salt-N-Pepa encouraged Shoopman to "Push It" in the two weeks remaining before Election Day.

"Phil needs to Push It," Salt said. "Push It real good."

Shoopman, who was also endorsed by the Greenville News Friday, is running for the seat formerly held by FITS fave Lewis Vaughn.
