Do you want to know how it all came down? Mark's former employees and hacks approached him to run. There is deep suspicion that this was aided and abetted by Colbert Busch's people because they figured this district hated Sanford enough that she'd have a real chance. I think this suspicion is bourn out. The SC GOP is behind Lindsey Graham, I'd remind you, and there are a lot of Democrats who turned coat when the state turned red. But tea partiers like me went against the good ole boy former-Demcrat corrupt GOP and got Haley into office. I wish Palin had come to help keep Sanford out, but the primary was packed and Bostic's vote was watered down.

Then the Dems were gleeful at Sanford's victory in the primary; it was their best chance. And Republicans only gathered to vote against Busch, and now have to suffer with having a Teddy Kennedy, opening the whole state to shame and mockery and the endless Jon Stewart youtube videos by email...

I believe we'd have been better off with Busch, who we could have defeated easily in 2014 with a decent person like Bostic. I fear we're stuck with the Deep South version of Teddy Kennedy.

No SC Republican endorsed him.

“....Sanford.......No SC Republican endorsed him.”

Really? But there sure were a lot who voted for him though.

I’m getting some comfort in noting your continued disatisfaction at yet another dependable conservative being elected to Congress.

Hopefully in 2014 many, many more will be elected both to the House and the US Senate. I hope, for your sake, that your disatisfaction doesn’t grow apace.
