1. I wish his ex-wife would do a campaign ad for Colbert-Busch.

He was cheap, and lousy with money, in addition to being a cheater! If he'd cheat on me and mismanage our household finances, why do you think he won't cheat on YOU and waste your hard earned tax dollars??

...or words to that effect!

Troubling article, but not devoid of hope:

Colbert Busch could certainly still win this race. Sanford remains unpopular and she's run a strong campaign. But we said 2 weeks ago that if Sanford was going to win he needed to shift the focus away from him and toward Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, and it appears he's done that effectively enough to give him the momentum headed into election day.

6. By debating a cardboard cut-out of Pelosi???!!!

*head exploding*

7. It's a GOP district...enough said... nt

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. I know, I know but still.......

[MADem]

9. Yeah...they ARE that stupid. Whatchagonna do?

The only hope is if they aren't enthused, and the smaller contingent of Dems are....

Or if there are Republicans in the district with a sense of shame, who would rather be represented by a sane Democrat, even if they don't agree ideologically...

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. Hopefully there will be enough enthusiasm about ECB

to carry her across the finish line. The fact that at least one paper is endorsing her is promising.

[MADem]

13. I really hope that, too.

I was astounded at the dismal showing for our primary (Kerry's senate seat) here in MA.

My guy won, but he's running against a young, bullshitting, empty carpetbagging suit who can recite the Pledge of Allegiance with vim and vigor. Scott Brown Redux, only a little younger looking.

I also really hope the people of MA take the words of Dumbya Bush to heart:

Fooled me once....ummmm....ehhhhhh.....heh heh heh.... won't git fooled AGIN!!!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. Does he (the Republican) own a pick up truck and was he a former model?

[MADem]

17. No, but he's from Hollywood (Los Angeles, actually) and he has a Pepsodent smile!

He used to be a SEAL who got out when he was a LT and he wears clothes like a model! Annnnnd....he's a "businessman"...!!!!!"

We haven't done too well when we elect "businessmen" from the Commonwealth. I often think "businessman" in the context of Republican politicians is code for "bullshitter!"

2. ill never believe another poll

again ever.

3. Where is Nate on this?

He knows and sees all.

I can easily see Sanford winning. People are idiots.

[LonePirate]

4. Republicans are idiots.

They will vote for the Republican candidate no matter how much they dislike him or how awful the candidate is. Democrats will vote third party or not vote at all if faced with an awful Democratic candidate.

Party loyalty until death is one area where Republicans will always trump Democrats.

15. Do we need Nate for this?

You're right: "People are idiots"

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

5. PPP was the most accurate poll in 2012, along with Nate. There's no reason to believe that it's not

accurate. Sickening, but accurate.

10. does SC have early voting?

[Dawgs]

12. Anyone that's surprised by this knows NOTHING of South Carolina.

She has ALWAYS had a zero chance of winning.

16. +1

I'm shocked that race is even this close in such a reliably red state.
