“I remember the leadership would come and say, ‘This stuff is okay during the campaign, but we have to govern,’ and I thought it was govern toward a specific end, not just govern to govern,” Sanford recalls.

Sanford’s most notable accomplishment as governor may be eliminating an illegal $155 million budget deficit that was hidden by his predecessor. When trying to find the last $16 million, legislators suggested that he had done enough. Sanford replied, “I’m sworn to uphold the Constitution. It doesn’t say come close and declare victory.”

*Ping!*

I Like Sanford, I really do- unlike Palin and Jindal, he is very much the real deal- But I will not spare him (or you) the very same question I haunt the moderates with:

By his record, how can Sanford bring together the 3 pillars of Conservatism?
