I'm in SC with Sanford and I'm somewhat worried. I know Clyburn put a couple of things in the bill - like money has to be used within 45 days. BUT - will GOPers like Sanford screw us?

3. I feel sorry for people in SC. I've never seen a more arrogant Governor
They better monitor what he does with the money.

8. I've seen a more arrogant governor.
His name had a "W." in the middle of it.

But here in SC, we're all too aware of how bad Sanford is.

9. yeah... but since Sanford only cares about 2012....
I AM holding on to the fact that he played that game of chicken about not accepting federal money for our bankrupt unemployment program but ultimately blinked at the last second. SO... maybe this is the same but on a larger scale.
