| House candidate Mark Sanford enjoys a leisurely walk on the Appalachian Trail |
A former Republican governor of a deeply Republican state is running for a deeply Republican U.S. House seat, but he is best known for claiming to be walking the Appalachian Trail while he was actually visiting his mistress in Argentina, and he has a court date two days after next Tuesday’s special election because he allegedly trespassed on his ex-wife’s property. His Democratic opponent has never run for office and would be totally unknown, except that her brother is one of the nation’s most popular comedians. They aren’t called special elections for nothing.
The quote above introduces a Sabato's Crystal Ball post by Kyle Kondik about what's cooking in South Carolina. Stranger things have happened in politics and Kondik does a fine job analyzing the outcome of "troubled" races in the House over the past forty years or so. Maybe Anthony Weiner has a political future after all!
