All his opponents in the primary need to do is keep posting the pictures of Thomas with his drug dealer. Given his wealth and standing, you might think he was buying his coke from a Victor Maitland...but actually his dealer of choice was, uh, more of a Reggie Hammond.
Clarification: Thomas did not SELL drugs, and from everything I've seen/heard, there's zero evidence that he was a cocaine addict. (Yes, he went to a rich-guy rehab, but my strong suspicion is that the "addiction" he claimed was just a play for sympathy when he got busted.) No, he didn't sell, and he likely wasn't an addict. He was arrested and convicted of *distributing* cocaine. As in "come to my insane rich-people parties in my downtown Charleston mansion! The coke is FREE!!!!"
A money quote in one of the many articles from 2008 when he was sentenced:

One witness told investigators she saw the 45-year-old scion of one of Charleston's most prominent families use or pass out cocaine at 27 parties. Authorities say he routinely provided cocaine at parties at his Charleston mansion.

A proper genteel Southern host would NEVER have their party guests pay for their coke, y'all.
