Oh, and right on time, just when I was talking about Sanford, here is a poll with him decidedly NOT going up in smoke.
Just to be clear, I probably would not have voted for him in the primary. I forgive him, but I don’t believe forgiveness means you should serve in public office again, however, people citing this as another ‘Akin’ before the guy has even lost, when he’s not even down in the polls, is ridiculous.
I hope he wins just to shut Rove and his lemmings up.
I say let Sanford win, then primary his butt out in 2014.
The district is typically R+11. This could be entertaining.

I hope he wins just to keep a RAT out of that seat. (Better a rat than a RAT)
The Republicans are so screwed if he wins. When the rest of the dirt comes out on him and he starts acting insane in public, the GOP will be a laughing stock. But people “have to” vote for him because that fruit loop is more important than the country and it’s evil to “judge someone.” His first agenda is gun control. It will be pretty quiet around here if Sanford is the deciding vote on the gun ban. I can imagine the quality television now, “I realized that I made terrible mistakes that hurt my family, and the only way I could ever make up for that is making guns illegal.” Don’t say you weren’t warned.
