I don’t really care what any partisan reporter says.

I’m not a partisan, and Sanford, while he might be a nice man, seriously injured his brand, and he shouldn’t be running. His campaign is an in-your-face to what we believe in.

I couldn’t care less if he’s reformed, recanted, or rejuvenated. His action was one of betrayal, and that makes 2 years and a public appearance hardly the time he needs to put his personal foibles in line.

Sanford’s fiasco says someone should run a viable 3rd party candidate against him.

In South Carolina, a congressional district is limited enough in size to allow a real campaign to be run by a low money candidate.

The Argentine puta wouldn’t stay with him if he didn’t stay in politics. The greatest social climber since Cinderella.

I’m sure that Stephen Colbert’s sister, who is the liberal Democrat running for the seat, would be happy to send some cash to fund an independent conservative candidate.

Mark Sanford cheated on his wife and lied about it, but he had a 95%-100% conservative record in Congress and the governorship, and his Democrat opponent will cast votes that are diametrically opposed to everything in which we believe. I don’t think the choice in the general election is at all difficult.

The time to defeat Sanford was in the primary, but no first-tier challenger came forward, and he finished first in the first round and easily won the run-off. If you want to get rid of Sanford, get Paul Thurmond or somebody esle who can win to run in the 2014 primary, but don’t give the seat to the Democrats to prove a point.
