Well she’s right and wrong.....Mark Sanford, for all his foibles, is loved in SC because he’s a great conservative and is really good at bashing liberals.
And Newt, the “good Newt” is far more conservative than Ann....and better at bashing libs than even Ann.....altho the “bad Newt” is, well, the bad Newt I admit.
Meanwhile, Akin was a self serving joke and a pathetic candidate — not sure about Liz v Enzi.

I've seen many comments on FR saying the exact same thing about the Cheney/Enzi race (that she may be more liberal than the incumbent). Akin managed to lose a race that was more-or-less in the bag. I don't know that Ann is that off base with these comments.
Yep. Annie herself is 'good Ann' and 'bad Ann' - one of the original 'Mittens'. Good Newt beats the stuffing out of good Ann every day of the week and 'bad Ann' shows up way too often.
She is wrong on Sanford. Sanford opposed the amnesty bill when he ran and won. He spooked the GOP leadership in the house.This was when Rubio pulled out his amnesty bill language the first major time. Also with Sanford you wonder if his Evangelical opponet would have sided with the Evangelical leaders supporting amnesty reform.
The Akin saga proved that some people should drop out for the greater good instead of pushing a 3 way primary. They wasted ads on attacking Akin’s earmarks. Then he retorted that they were for something good. They pale in comparison to trillion dollar amnesty bills. Akin was with Steve King and Tancredo on immigration. That is part of the reason for his primary victory. Also got Karl Rove to come out openly as a thug.
I brought this up to Roy Blunt in an email when he was deciding to vote on amnesty.
