Just goes to show. Charles Manson could win there as long as he's a Republican.
If John Edwards had switched parties and ran, he would've won if Sanford had not run.
That's just it--Romney carried that district by 18%, so it was a complete long shot for Busch to come even close. Sanford won by 9% last night--Busch closed the gap by half. Even then, I'm floored that people would vote for Mark Sanford after the really stupid, awful, completely sleazy things he's done. All that tells me is that a big chunk of voters in that Congressional District would vote for the most pathetic scum on the planet if it was a R. Not something I'd be proud of, and winning an overwhelmingly R seat by a tighter margin than an R ever should have says absolutely nothing about 2014 or 2016.
You see those illiterate inbred hillbilly imbeciles in South Carolina elected Mark Sanford for Congress? BAAA.
So much for the party of personal principles. By god he'll protect your 2nd amendment rights even if he has to walk over all the other amendments and the 10 commandments.

If your party can elect and re-elect a murderer and drunk like Ted Kennedy and a serial sex offender like Bill Clinton, I think we can elect a man who looks like a saint in comparison.
Boehner wasn't even able to come up with anything positive to say about him. Then he has a court appearance on his trespassing charge this Thursday.
From a commentator I heard "He's going to be on the foreign relations committee, he knows a lot about foreign relations". Late night comedians are going to have a blast! Stay tuned.

Sanford & Vitter can get together & share their experiences.
Republican district, far right/extremist, not a surprise.
I would agree with you except so many people on CD said she was a slam dunk and would run away with the election. That is the surprising part. I am surprised he won by as much as he did...Maybe a better known candidate would have been able to win or keep it a little closer. You say, you are not surprised because it is so heavily Republican. That is true but sometimes it works the other way. Look at what happened in Mass with the special election after Teddy passed away? If what you are saying is true, how did the Republicans win that one?

Interesting you are saying that today: what did you way on Monday? Yes, you are right, Romney did win by 18%. She looed like she would win about 2 weeks ago, what do you think happened?
Believe me, as a Republican I am not jumping up and down. I don't like what he did, or how he did it, but I don't think she had much to offer either. If you are going to run for office, you better have some ideas on how to solve problems, not just run cause you think it might be fun or think it is going to be an easy entrance into national politics. She obviously was a very bad candidate. Regardless of the district being Republican, a good candidate could have pulled a victory I think.
BTW: I think you mentioned Sanford didn't come clean, he got caught: you are completely right, but if I remember right Clinton got caught and still didn't come clean.

Indeed, though they seemed to ignore the fact that his opponent was jailed due to her behavior during her divorce.
