Free Republic

We need help in SC-01. Mark Sanford is running slightly behind Democrat Elizabeth Colbert-Busch thanks to a ton of Nancy Pelosi's money. Now we could debate whether Sanford was the best candidate or not for Republicans but it is what it is. The 2nd place guy, Curtis Bostic, has many supporters pledging to write in his name. Even Bostic's son is encouraging it on his Twitter account. We need to encourage Bostic to do the right thing and discourage his supporters from writing in any name and encourage them to vote for Mark Sanford (even if it's not an "endorsement"...

March 27, 2013, 4:11 PM CURTIS BOSTIC ENDORSEMENT The Democrats’ No 1 goal is to retake the House next year. They don’t care about guns, abortion, taxing “the rich” – they just want the House. While they’re busy micro-targeting congressional districts, Mark Sanford has just given them an expected gift! Republicans could nominate Hitler and win South Carolina’s 1st district, but if Sanford’s the nominee, Republicans will either lose or win at a cost of $50 million that could be better spent elsewhere. Already polls show Sanford tied with, or losing to, the Democratic nominee. MSNBC has barely been able...

Former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford is facing a runoff against Curtis Bostic for the GOP nomination for the state’s 1st Congressional District seat, which was vacated when Tim Scott was appointed to the Senate. One would think that Sanford’s infamous abandonment of his post to indulge in a fling with his Argentinian mistress would disqualify him from serious consideration by those who treasure “family values” or who think using public money for a dalliance isn’t the sign of a true fiscal conservative.more...

The standard disclaimer: Yes, PPP is left-leaning (they're Kos's pollster) so you may, if you're so inclined, conclude that they're trying to depress Republican turnout/boost Democratic turnout in the upcoming special election with these numbers. And now the obligatory footnote: They were pretty darned accurate in last year's presidential polling.I'm skeptical that even a tarnished GOP nominee is vulnerable in a district like SC-1 that has a Partisan Voter Index of R+11 (which is why I thought the general election would be a walkover), but that's what makes this data potentially significant. Is Sanford's image so tarnished that he'd actually...

My fellow Freepers, I want you to take a look at the man who will be seeking the 1st Congressional Seat in South Carolina. His name is Curtis Bostic, a former Marine and now an attorney. He will be seeking the seat vacated by Tim Scott, who was appointed to fill the US Senate seat of Jim DeMint. This is a good man, and a solid conservative. This man used to be my neighbor 20 years ago before attending law school. This is a wide open race, and it includes former Congressman and Governor Mark Sanford, and Teddy Turner, son...
