Sanford challenges questions with spontaneous poll of women (douchebag alert)

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, bidding for political redemption in a congressional race after a high-profile divorce that seemingly ended his aspirations, sought to challenge the notion that he has a problem among women voters by spending part of a visit to a small shopping street looking for, as he put it, “a woman who hates me.”

Sanford then walked across the street to begin his meet-and-greet, flanked by two campaign staffers and three reporters, telling the reporter who asked the questions about his status with women that he rejected the “premise” that women wouldn’t vote for him because of his personal life.

He then indicated he wanted to seek out women who “hated” him.

“Let’s go to this woman – does she look biased?” he asked as he crossed the street, the NBC reporter walking next to him.

As a car whizzed by, he told the reporter, “Watch out, I don’t want you to get run over. Actually I kind of do, but that’s a different story.”

I really, REALLY dislike this asshole. He is showing what a truly misogynistic prick he is. If he wins I think S. Carolina might as well hang it up in their efforts to become part of the 21st century.

1. A jaw-dropper of a story.

I would wish people in South Carolina would have more pride than to enable somebody who no more deserves to be in Congress than he deserves commemoration in a statue, but you can't save people from themselves.
