Bad night for the dems. They blew a lot of money on this one...

Yup, they sure did. And their bitterness is already showing over it: “House Republicans’ outreach to women voters now has Mark Sanford as the face. Republicans now have to defend him and stand with him until Election Day,” said Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel of New York.

Howabout this: we'll have to take Sanford, but they have to take Dr. Gosnell ...

People in 434 other congressional districts have never heard of Mark Sanford, never will, and wouldn’t care less in any case. I’d like to see the Dems try to use Sanford to “nationalize” 2014. Regrettably, even they are not that foolish.

Had Colbert won, the MSM would have played up this “upset” for weeks, declared the House will go to the Dems in 2014, and immeasurably helped Pelosi raise a lot of dough for Dem candidates from coast to coast.

Anybody who thinks that losing this seat would have been a “victory” understands very little about American politics.
