I, on the other hand, like those who come from the privatr sector, serve in office, and then return to the private sector instead of spending their entire carreer sucking at the public tit as a professional politician.

Inevitably they become corrupted old-boy-network scumbags.

Has Sanford ever bucked his own party? Put members of his own party in jail for corruption? Stood up to and overcome the cronyism between members of his own party and Big Oil? Because if he hasn't, he can't even carry Palin's water.

Palin has done all of the above and tons more. The last thing we need is just another entrenched GOP party hack.

Sanford is a self made millionaire and was in the private sector for quite a while. And as much as I despise UVA (being a Hokie and all) he did graduate from UVA near the top of his class

He bucked the party on Capitol Hill quite a bit in Congress and has constantly been a thorn in the side of the Republican led legislature in SC

He was one of the few from the class of 1994 to actually honor his term limits commitment

Saying Sanford is another entrenched party hack is ridiculous. In fact, he is the exact type of conservative we need today
