            <P>Today's showdown between John Rainey, chairman of the Board of 
            Economic Advisers, and GOP state treasurer nominee Thomas Ravenel 
            will air live on South Carolina Educational Television at 10 a.m..
            <P>The two Republicans have engaged in a long-distance feud in the 
            media since Aug. 6, when The Greenville News published an interview 
            with Rainey. In it, the Anderson native called the wealthy 
            Charleston developer is a "dilettante" who would damage the state 
            fiscally because he's more interested in a 2008 U.S. Senate race 
            than in being treasurer.
            <P>Ravenel fired back, sending Rainey the book "Economics for 
            Dummies."
            <P>The two next squabbled over the extent of the state pension 
            system's unfunded liabilities, triggering Rainey's challenge to meet 
            with their respective experts and documentation in tow today in Gov. 
            Mark Sanford's Wade Hampton Building conference room in Columbia.
