He's discarding her? In his article he says she's the most electable. Discarding?
Why is he the one behind the "stirrings in the S.C. Senate race" news with his unnamed one source which introduces Mulvaney and Sanford to the race? To me, this is completely from left field and certainly counter to what the Mace camp would want at this point of the campaign.
The 'most electable' is just a throwaway line to give Nancy a parting gift. Pure speculation on my part but it is an explanation to an otherwise contradictory article.
