Sanford should be the #1 choice for VP, regardless (frankly, he ought to be the choice for President).
Yes, Sanford would be the ideal candidate to run for President. I really do admire Sanford for his integrity. As a Congressman, he voted against pork for his own district. Plus, he honored his term limit for serving only 6 years in Congress. Also as Governor, he mustered up the courage to say no more pork to his own party. Politicans like Sanford are a gem.
