Sanford is a 2 term governor and has never lost an election.

He was absolutely the right choice in that race even with his baggage... the others did not have money and weren’t even known!

Keep the faith and help him out that’s what I’m doing... the establishment will not help Mark, he’s on his own.

He’s used to it. He has been fighting against his own party just as much as the Dems during his career and his time as SC governor.

He’s actually - gasp - a conservative!

Pretty sure the "establishment", such that it is, was helping Sanford till his latest trespassing charge came to light.

He's a liar and a tool, and we're probably going to lose the seat because of him and the gullible, foolish primary voters that wanted to give him a second chance.

the others did not have money and weren’t even known!

So what? It's an R+11 district. Pretty much any of the candidates could have won the seat for us - except lying, cheating Sanford.

Yes, Republicans should vote for Sanford in the general election. But IF he retains the seat for us, and he probably won't, every effort needs to be made to eject him and find a decent candidate next time around. The reality is Stephen Colbert's sister is likely to win because of Mark Sanford's selfishness and the idiocy of SC1 primary voters.

Conservatives don't abandon their posts and run from their obligations, without even taking 5 seconds to make sure somebody is minding the store.

Conservatives don't ask the taxpayers to pick up the costs of their booty calls to South America.

Conservatives don't ignore court orders. Conservatives don't trespass on private property not their own.

Sanford is many things, but he is not a conservative. Not if the word still means anything.

well I hope you're right....around here, Sanford was a saint up until he proved he was just a man, but for that sin of being a human drew the hate of so many freepers....

we like our candidates to be pure and virginal I guess...
