Good News? Sanford Wins

From the AP: Four years after scandal derailed his political career, ex-Republican Gov. Mark Sanford once again holds a South Carolina political office, winning back his old congressional seat Tuesday after a race in which he battled his past and an opponent who outdid him in fundraising.

Sanford's resurrection was completed when he defeated Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert, in a district that hasn't elected a Democratic congressman in more than three decades.

"Some guy came up to me the other day and said you look a lot like Lazarus," Sanford told a crowd of more than 100 cheering supporters at his victory celebration, referring to the man who, according to the Bible, Christ raised from the dead.

With all precincts reporting, Sanford had about 54 percent of the vote.  http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_1ST_DISTRICT_SOUTH_CAROLINA?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2013-05-07-20-34-22

About a week ago, Colbert Busch had about a 10 point lead, so it will be interesting to see why he surged so much in such a short time.

If the Democrat would have won, they would say the country repudiated the Tea Party and supported Obama.

So, since the GOP won, it means the country has repudiated Obama and the Tea Party lives on.
