chance. but i think mark sanford was very shrewd. he went to his old friends, he has a very good record as bostic pointed out as a congressman and governor. he was never in any moral or ethical trouble in his in office, until the girlfriend. he has thrown himself on his knees. to evangelicals and everybody, love the sin or hate the sin. i don t think he s that popular. he probably has a ceiling. but it is easy to see him winning and easy to see him, if things go right for him in the campaign and things don t go great for bush, easy to see him winning this. basically the nightmare for him would be to face is a woman in a general oh, right, he s got this is what makes it a hurricane. she s a good candidate. her resume is good. she s a good democratic candidate. still green. but she doesn t have a long voting record for republicans to dissect. i love that that s what makes a
this race, we re going to see somebody that makes some noise on the hill, who might challenge either tim scott or lindsey graham in 2014. people don t love lindsey gram down there, see him as a rhino. tim scott has not been setting the world on fire as a senator, so far, but also people think it would be more likely should he win this race, he is more likely looking at the governor s race in 2018. at this hour tomorrow night, we should probably know who the republican candidate will be. and in the last poll we ve seen, mark sanford is leading curtis bostic 53-40%. and ana marie, i am not sure anything happened to change that around for bostic. no, i don t think it did. mark sanford is probably going to walk away from this. i would like to point out as far as making noise on the hill, he didn t co-sponsor a single piece
congressional seat. sanford finished with 37% of the vote to bostic s 13%. he has all the name and i.d. a candidate could ask for. he s favored to win today. he ll never count out surprises in american politics. bostic, counting on the support of evangelical voters in this district, is doing his best to capitalize on sanford s past sins. and while sanford runs on his fiscally conservative credentials and tries to explain them away, they met in a debate on thursday. the events of 2009 absolutely represent a failure on my part for which there were and will always be at some level consequences. but this does not mean because you ve had a failure in your personal life that you cannot step back into life again. the whole show that should governor be the candidate facing the democrat we ll lose this seat and lose it needlessly because of this issue of trust. a compromised candidate is not what we need.
while sanford s former english teacher gives his character a stamp of approval in a new ad, bostic s wife stars in an ad where the fact they had a 25-year-old marriage is hard to miss. he has a great number of followers out there, just like me. other little old ladies, retired teachers who are fiscally conservative. in 2002, our commitment to life was seriously tested coming off cancer treatments, doctors were shocked i had become pregnant. curtis and i trusted god and chose life. and as for the child, meet steven. most of the other 14 candidates in the primary quickly lined up behind sanford. bostic did get some help in the final stretch from former u.s. senator and presidential candidate rick santorum. someone who is a strong conservative on fiscal issues, strong conservative on national security issue and strong conservative on moral issues.
you alluded to is that this pipeline carries one tenth of what the proposed xl pipeline would carry. imagine the photos we re seeing from arkansas times ten. it has been interesting when it comes to the president on energy. he announced expanded oil drilling off the coast of american shores on the east coast. and then a few weeks later, the bp oil spill happened. then that was put an end to. he announced an expanded licenses for nuclear power plants. and then the japanese disaster happened. and that was halted. does this end up halting keystone? remember, timing is everything in politics and policy. finally, if it is tuesday, somebody is voting somewhere. that somewhere is in south carolina s first congressional district today. former governor mark sanford is trying to make a political comeback. sanford faces charleston county councilman curtis bostic in the republican runoff for his old
