Former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford has retaken the lead in his congressional comeback bid – erasing Democrat Elizabeth Colbert-Busch’s nine-point lead in just two weeks according to the results of the latest Public Policy Polling survey.
With less than 24 hours to go before polls open, Sanford enjoys a narrow 47-46 percent advantage over Colbert-Busch – with third party candidate Eugene Platt getting the support of four percent of voters and another four percent undecided.
On April 22, Colbert-Busch led Sanford by a 50-41 percent margin, according to PPP – a Democratic-leaning firm based in North Carolina.
“The special election in South Carolina couldn’t be much closer,” PPP president Dean Debnam said. “At this point it’s just a question of whether voters are more put off by Mark Sanford or the Democrats in Washington.”
PPP has been extremely accurate in its polling of South Carolina races over the last two election cycles – and its latest survey is consistent with a slew of recent polls showing this race to be a dead heat. The firm polled 1,239 likely voters in the first district between May 4-5. Its margin of error is plus or minus 2.8 percent.

You have to give it to him. It takes some mighty big balls to bring your Hot piece of Argentenian ass to your victory party all the while telling the people you’ve repented and God spoke to you bla bla bla
Have you heard all the national news people refer to them as being “married”?
Maybe the idiot SCGOP voters in the 1st district think so, too.
Personally, the fact that he hasn’t married a “soul mate” two years after a divorce is an indication he wants some more of those Congressional junkets to help him find some more soul mates/
The Lowcountry is live and let live – you have to be with all those tourists and drunks.
Sanford is pretty libertarian and conservative and a great fit for the district. That’s why he keeps winning it massively in the last 20 years.
There is a report on PoliticusUSA (liberal yes), that Sanford was running around Summerville on Saturday exhibiting some bizarre behavior in the presence of a reporter who asked him about his problem with woman voters. The article is entitled, “Mark Sanford Comes Unglued and Runs Around SC Asking Women if They Hate Him.” The description “batsh*t crazy” was aptly used and it was pointed out that as a rule most people would not own up to their dislike of a person when interrogated directly by said person, particularly in the Bible Belt. They also stated that it was sexist to assume disgust with Sanford and his deceitful behavior was confined to females alone.
He was trying to show the reporter that he’s not hated by women. The reporter is spinning and lying because he or she has an agenda.
The only bizarre behavior is from the lying whores in the media who have been pumping up ECB for 3 weeks and will soon look very foolish!
John you sound very young and I pity you for the day you wake up to find your rabid defense of your hero was misplaced and that integrity and sanity do matter to fiscal conservatives.
The young people of the Lowcountry are with Sanford because he’s their kinda guy and a socialist, gun grabbing, pro-choice witch is not.
I’d like to have a beer with Sanford and so would the “kids” in the district.
What would you do with her ? Certainly nothing untoward.
We’re all just hope you make it through the election without having a heart attack. No matter who wins on Tuesday,the world will not end on Wed. Might want to cut back on your Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
Hell, I’d have a beer with Sanford, if he was buying, but under no circumstance would I vote for the lying bastard again.
Ahh just give it up, man. You lost, deal with it!
Well no, actually we all lost and the red flags are all over the field. I am no fan of either candidate.
Not surprising this is SC & in the end no matter what he did they will not vote for a dem.
Yeah, Bigotory at it’s worse, isn’t?
Do you mean Bigotory or bigotry? Is this your right-wing opinion?
Well I could agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.
That’s the part I don’t get. How do you say you have repented when you are still involved with this woman. That’s crazy. You can’t repent and keep forging ahead. Crazy.
God told him was OK to fornicate….he’s one of the chosen.

She is a disgrace who hangs around with Clyburn and lies about being a businesswoman and lies about her 88 arrest.
I wouldn’t trust her as far as I could throw her nevermind send her to DC with the rest of the crooks !

Hopefully voters, who were going to vote for him, will read this and decide he’s got it in the bag, and they’ll stay home.
While it may scare the Heck out of Colbert voters and Sanford haters, and motivate them to the polls.
That said: if the democrats cannot beat this SOS…they are in BIG, BIG trouble in the 2014 Mid-Terms…say good bye to ANY Obama initiatives forever…his presidency is basically over…Thank GOD!!!!!
Nope. The Tea Party are out there doing a great job at making sure people know where to go and what to do.
The closeness of the race and the recent racist attack on Gov. Haley will get people to the polls don’t worry about that
There’s anoher thing that Colbert-Busch has to worry about: Photo ID Law, which was implemented after the 2012 election.
Isn’t this news old… If the poll is from April 26? Or are you just going to continue doing everything in your “power” to help Sanford?
This poll was from this past weekend

Sanford disgusts me. He is weak (mentally speaking) and a hypocrite. I don’t blame him for stepping out on Jenny. He’s still human and a man can only take so much.
That said, as much as I am sick of hearing about him and his ex, I believe we are better off with him in office than someone likely to go along with whatever Obama and Pelosi want. For that reason, I hope he goes in for two years, and in two years, the Republican Party finds someone more viable and acceptable, to run in his place.
You’re part of the problem. You say he disgusts you and is a hypocrit, yet you’re still going to vote for him. That actually makes you a hypocrit. Loser.
It is the issue of having to choose between “lessers of evils” that we have been confronted with far too many times in the last twenty or so years. Pull the lever for the one you perceive to be the lesser of evils and then go puke, because you know you made a bad choice, anyway.
That makes no sense at all to me, even though I have heard it often before. The lesser of two evils is still evil. And in this case, he’s someone who has gone AWOL off his last elected position. You already know his track record. And it stinks.
I actually prefer people like you not vote at all instead of voting for someone you don’t like. Because no matter the reason why you vote for someone, in the end it is still a vote FOR that person.
Even if ECB follows Pelosi/Obama for a year and a half, the Republicans control the House very solidly and have filibuster capabilities in the Senate. There is nothing she can really do in that regards, not in her first non-full term. Either way, she’s going to face a tough reelection come 2014, at least a better candidate has a chance of running.
Also, who do you trust to actually represent the district and SC as a whole? Sanford was a horrid representative many years ago (I speak from firsthand experience, he never met with hardly anyone personally and his aides didn’t give two shits about what you wanted his support for, even if it cost zero taxpayer dollars) and 8 years of his administration bore little fruit in regards to fixing state government’s issues and actually curbing the spending that needs to be curbed. He is a walking gimmick, a hack, a fraud, a huckster, a snake-oil salesman, and he doesn’t even try to hide it.
Winning this election essentially gives him a pass on his affair and his epic screwing of our state and gives him a seat he can hardly lose to anyone. This is beyond politics. Sanford does not deserve a seat of power, let alone one he doesn’t even have to compete for later on down the road. There is nothing beyond his hypocrisy and blatant disregard for his constituents that makes it worth voting for him.
He will not be replaced if he wins. I’m willing to bet good money on it, too. 15 other candidates and not one gave him a run for his money? Larry Grooms, FITS’ pick, has a better chance one-on-one versus ECB, and he got absolutely clobbered in the primary. That’s just one example. Sanford has too much name recognition, and despite his horrendous service thus far, has enough of a following in the primaries to tackle all competition. This election will be his hardest and he won without even a whimper from his competition.
This is why Haley won (and will likely win again, mark my words). This is why Sanford may win. This is why we get the same shitty Republicans, and even shitty Democrats, day in and day out in this state. Because people are too lazy to vote in the primaries, the dumb vote keeps the crappy candidate on the ballot, and because people are too scared to vote outside of party lines, they ensure the crappy incumbent stays in. Nothing ever changes. We hold our damn noses so we don’t notice the stink but we won’t clean house to get rid of the source of that stench.
Honestly, this is why democracy fails. When society doesn’t hold government accountable, government doesn’t owe society anything. What better example of this than to reelect Mark Sanford, a man who hasn’t given two squirts of piss for his fellow citizens doing horrendous things while in office but being given back a seat of power. No accountability before, none after.
You do make some good points, Smirks! Also, in all reality, you probably are right about him being impossible to replace once he gets his foot in the door. Idiot voters in SC are like that. Like when a Sheriff is elected, he has that office until he dies or is removed by the Governor if he is in a small county without the backing of a large political machine. If the has the backing of a political machine, he has the job for life if he wants it.
Last week at the local Publix I helped jump-start the car of a pretty 24-year-old Clemson grad who is a “hospice nurse.”
She tends to people who are at the end of their lives, and drives from one home to another tending to dying patients. I imagine it’s pretty wrenching emotionally and makes one appreciate what blessings god gives us, and how short is our life on earth.
She’s single, lives with her dad, and is a Christian, wearing a crucifix.
I asked her who she’ll vote for and she said “Mr. Sanford, because he best represents our values.”
I was astonished but kept my thoughts to myself.
My thoughts were, “This is what keeps South Carolina dead last.”
Any comments?
What Larry Flynt said pretty much covers her and others like her.

Charleston Post and Courier endorses Colbert-Busch. Is that newsworthy here?
It should be. P & C is the most right wing reactionary paper in the state.
I imagine, their editorial was certainly in this direction, that they have some owners and staff who actually remember what it meant to the district and the state to have the likes of Mendel Rivers, Henry Brown and, even Tim Scott vs. Sanford.
It’s the difference in having representation that tries to accomplish something for the district, rather than just vote “no” on everything that would help it grow. That’s the kind of rep Sanford was.
For a SCGOP voter group that prefers political gesture to political results, Sanford is the only choice.
Half the PPP Poll was done on Sunday afternoon long after the good people of the Lowcountry finished reading that rag and their awful endorsement for the lying, fraudulent Pelosi backed clone.
It had no effect whatsoever.
The internet prevails and her mugshot and background has been exposed all week by actual journalists at FITS, Breitbart News and elsewhere.
Don’t I remember you or one of your cronies saying when PPP Poll had ECB up by nine that you couldn’t trust that Democrat leaning poll ?
That poll was a fraud and I knew it because it only had 50% Romney voters when the district voted for Romney by 58%.
The poll was a fraud to drive money and interest to the lacklustre and unimpressive witch who wants to be a Congresswoman.
They come out with another one at the last minute to not look stupid.
An old, detestable trick which everyone knows about. PPP Exposed again for the liars and frauds they are !!
I think there’s a 50% chance you suffer from dry ejaculation…..makes you mean,and a little wacko.
But accurate!
Dry ejacualtion has nothing to do with hitting the target.
Then I’m afraid you got a problem.
Well as the Monkees once sang “That was Then and this is Now.”
Which 50% of the voters are you referring to? Best be careful there son, your boy still has a nut on each side of the fence.
He’s going to win because hes a point ahead and has momentum. She would need everyone who hasn’t made up their mind which is like 4% in house races to vote for her and that’s not happening and neither will 4% vote green.
Even if he underperforms Romney by like 10% with the undecideds he will win with 51% as he is a point ahead in the final poll.
Her path is very narrow.
The lying witch is going down and has been exposed for what she is !
TIME TO GET GET OUT THE VOTE CHARLESTON !

I truly love reading the comments on this guy. He saves tax money! (forget the fact he used taxpayer money to go see her) And at least the GOP is moving out of the holier than thou values non-sense.
I am not saying he is a saint but the evidence is not out there that he used tax payer money to go see her.
Um, then why did he personally repay the expenses of the trip and pay ethic fines? My lord the electorate is either uninformed or believes what they want to hear.
Look, vote ECB out in 2014. If she wins, Pelosi is not in charge and the seat will flip back in 2014. (Im a left leaning guy but HATE Pelosi)
But having him win this election will make this state look sillier than ever and if you think that does not effect businesses’ decisions to come here, you are either uninformed or will believe what you want.
Thank Jenny Sanford for the help with Boeing. It was through her family that Sanford even knew the top guys……Think I heard the Boeing guys ignored Sanford at the golf tournament.
This is just another pathetic smear. Boeing know Sanford. They met him multiple times as governor and worked with him. They have also backed his campaign with $5,000 !!
And when they send him to DC they can expect a lot more jobs and investment like this instead of fake green stimulus jobs that she lied about and promised: 134 green jobs or 2,000 Boeing jobs?
JD, you seem to know what is going on in Sanford’s camp so what’s the story about the impending wedding w/Belen? Is it right after the election or at the end of summer?
I’m betting they gave the same amount to ECB,and yes they met him when he was Gov.When he was Gov,he was married to Jenny and Jenny is the daughter of John Sullivan who personally knows all the big dogs.Rant all you want,you’re still wrong.
They haven’t given her a penny as far as I know. She is backed by Boeing’s enemy: The unions that want to strangle them.
They’ll bring more jobs to Charleston if Mark is there to welcome them and move them out of the liberal hellhole, pothead freak show that is Seattle!
$24bn of investment brought to SC when he was Governor and an expanding Boeing factory to Charleston, thousands of jobs and a restored reputation for the state and you complain about him using the State plane.
Obama uses Air Force One at much more cost nearly every god damn week flying off for another vacation while America crumbles.
How do you like that !
You’re truly an ungrateful soul.
Luckily those in the district remember.

Anyone who is hoping for a better candidate than the two running now better hope ECB wins. Incumbent Republicans are near-invincible, and winning here means Sanford’s political career is back in action. He will not be removed.
It really is a sad day when a decision like this is so near 50-50.
Man. It is sure easy to figure out why ECB would only agree to ONE debate and her campaign demanded it NOT be televised.It is obvious the debate was the game changer in SC 1 as just one look and listen to this lady confirmed she is unprepared,lacks knowledge of the issues and would vote with Pelosi 100% of the time.
Hi, Donehue! Or is that you, Sawyer?
Really, you party loyalist are pathetic. Guess who is next to be screwed by sanford
It really is a sad day when a decision like this is so near 50-50.
Funny. It’s near 50-50 now but I hate too believe it but …..I think the final % will be in Juan Peron’ Sandman’s favor 54%-46%.
It’s all over but the nose blowing.

Because he has not cracked 50% he will lose. The undecideds will break against him and he will lose 52-48.
Wrong. Greens won’t get 4% and he’s leading which means she will need undecideds to all go her way. It’s not happening: SANFORD WINS!
Neither has Colbert-Busch, anymore. So what’s your point?

It’s your site and your endorsement therefore your decision. However, the subtle moves such as cropping the picture to remove the son’s obvious discomfort in the photo above, one you used in the original form when you first ran it, are insulting to your readers. You are really working hard for a candidate that you couldn’t enthusiastically endorse from the beginning. What gives here? Sanford is a sad-sack who will play out eventually. Are you that hard up for friends?
I want everyone to know that the person now using “Observant” is not the original. I have been away from the blog for a few weeks, and was surprised to find my “name” misused.
It’s a pretty common name you asswipe. Besides, check the likes, you should have kept your mouth shut.
Easy, little fellah. No need to get your panties in a wad. Looks like OO was just trying to clarify if anyone got confused. BTW, people who feel it necessary to add terms like “Intelligent” to their online nom de plume add the stench of desperation to their posts. Just my opinion.
or defending an alias which by definition means that no one knows who the fuck you are. What’s the diff little fella?
Better to be copied for excellence rather than silence. Check my previous responses in and before April.
Please be advised that the main reason I have “fallen away” from the blog is that the quality of the comments has bottomed out (where better a need for an ‘asswipe’).
Also, pba that if you had not had your head so far up your ass, you could have “intelligently observed” that I agreed with the name-stealer. One can’t wipe an obstructed rectum….
This recent poll is not surprising based on the Greek Chorus supporters he has in SC-1 who think this compromised, ineffectual candidate will do no harm. He would make a better docent at some Austrian School of Economics museum where he could nostalgically reflect on perceived past glories without being responsible for outcomes and results.
It’s your site and your endorsement therefore your decision. However, the subtle moves such as cropping the picture to remove the son’s obvious discomfort in the photo above, one you used in the original form when you first ran it, are insulting to your readers. You are really working hard for a candidate that you couldn’t enthusiastically endorse from the beginning. What gives here? Sanford is a sad-sack who will play out eventually. Are you that hard up for friends?

Nice Adam’s apple Maria. What else are you hiding under your clothes?

At the end of the day, it is not the sensation of a broken, narcissistic man seeking an ego boost from a needy, latina divorcee. All too common. Or his shameless shedding of his marital commitment because he was blinded by his own self-absorption although he preferred to think of it as God’s Plan. Or the rationalizations for his AWOL he told his sons and his constituents. We were always in his thoughts, between the crying jags and boinking in Argentina. His concern for our concerns is what led to his “erratic” behavior. This polling result is more a reflection on his supporters, who applaud his comeback as brave rather than desperate and his repentance as complete rather than another delusional ploy.

Sanford will win. Momentum is with him, and ECB has turned way too negative, likely due to her (and her completely hapless staff’s) inexperience in politics.
Thank you heels but let’s not take anything for granted.
The lying liberals and phony so called “businesswoman” who works for a public university would love nothing more than to steal this seat from under our very noses!
SOUND THE ALARM: Tell anyone you know in the district to vote for Sanford and stress that this is close.
Mark needs Republicans to turn out and the Democrats campaign to trash him relentlessly has been designed to keep them at home.
Thankfully the latest racist attack on Gov. Haley – which ECB has refused to condemn – by SC Democrat Party chairman may be enough to get people off their ass and register their disgust in the Democrats and everything they stand for.
Oh hell no, tell everyone that dumbass John Duncan called it by a landslide on FITS and that the lock is in. Don’t waste your gas going to the polls cause ole johnny boy said so. Make a choice peckerhead
Be gentle with John,he has to keep slinging it in there in order to collect his paycheck from the Sanford campaign. You think he wants to kiss Sanford’s ass…hell no…..It’s kinda like the guy who drives that truck that slurps all of that crap out of those portable toilets……it’s a shitty job,but someone has to do it….enter,John Duncan…..Now,leave my sweety alone.

Word is ole Jakie is about to put a torpedo through the campaigns hull. Stay tuned. The newsroom just went wild at the State and I hear someone screaming “get confirmation, get someone to go on record”. This should be interesting.
not enough people are going to be swayed by a last minute surprise. He’d need to lose them all badly to her which is not going to happen.
He’s winning this.
Unless, of course, he violates another court order/agreement.
Well we won’t know that for the next two days but by then, it’ll be too late.

You gotta believe Obama is PRAYING that ECB can win it…
He looks REAL BAD if he has damaged the democrat brand to such a degree his party can dump loads of money into a small race and win vs a VERY FLAWED, Do-Nothing Career politician, who has been abandoned.
If the Ds lose to Sanford, the 2014 Mid-Terms look like a blood-bath for their party. The GOP will smell that blood, too…and the momentum should be fierce for the GOP, and the dis-membering of Obama….
Since when has this country voted in sync with S.C.?
The US Congress is GOP and all of SC’s fairly elected Congressional seats are GOP..(SC-6 is appointed by race, and does not count)
So right now the country votes w/ SC…DUMB-@$$!!!!!!
This is wonderful news.
This means Sanford is extremely likely to prevail against the liberal, lying, Pelosi backed fraud and the biased, controlled mainstream media who have tried to trash him for the last MONTH and to completely avoid the issues voters care about:
Jobs, the economy, investment, Obamacare being repealed, borders controlled, rights of the unborn protected and our sacred 2nd amendment left alone!
On every single issue Mark Sanford is on the right side of First District voters (and those of anyone with any common sense) while the Pelosi backed stooge has revealed her true colors by campaigning with Clyburn yesterday who has done so much to bankrupt America and force liberal legislation down our throats!
Do the people of Charleston and the Lowcountry want a Clyburn/Pelosi clone representing them in DC?
HELL NO!!!
This is why it’s incredibly important if you live in the District to vote for the Republican Mark Sanford TOMORROW and try and rally your neighbors, co-workers and friends to do the same.
America is truly counting on you to get this right !!
THANK YOU SC FOR COMMON SENSE AT LONG LAST !!!
You say that ECB is a liar. Maybe. But then so is Sanford. he lied to his advisors, to his wife and kids and to the state he was elected to serve by skipping out on them to go screw his mistress.
He is the dictionary definition of a liar.
His personal failings aside, he skipped out on the state and was AWOl for six days because he could not keep Lil mark in his pants. How any decent Christian person could support this liar is beyond me.
Why not? They’re doing the same for Colbert-Busch. What goes around, comes around.

I think a pile of dog sh*t could beat a Democrat in SC.

Sanford really needs to win this because there is no way Hot Lips will ever be welcomed in Charleston and he’s not about to leave Coosaw and live in Argentina. He wants the tax payers to pay for the love nest in DC. He knows having another Republican in Congress is not important,but living there with a gov’t salary is.
Well, Colbert Bush would have been a place holder until the next election. I was hoping this narcissistic, hypocritical buffoon that impeached Clinton over an affair and lectured us on gov’t spending but used tax payer money to go on a trade mission to Argentina as a pretext to see his mistress and used government planes to get haircuts, would at least have to get a friggin job and stop living off the taxpayers.
Maybe not.
PPP is the best out there. If they say it’s this tight, it is. Oh well.
Can’t wait to see what Mark brings us for his encore.
Maybe he’ll have Koch and Boeing bring THOUSANDS of much needed jobs? Meanwhile her union backers want to steal them away to Seattle.
Charleston has to be moronic to even entertain electing that fraud Democrat who refuses to condemn the recent racist attack on Gov. Haley by her party chairman.

I do firmly believe that in the last week we have successfully exposed this fraudulent “businesswoman” so thank you to FITS and Breitbart and other media outlets who have done a such a good job. Also important was the Tea Party and Rand Paul’s endorsement.
Couple this with the recent racist attack on Gov. Haley by the Democrat Party chairman and it’s little wonder people are breaking for Sanford

This shot really highlights ‘her’ Adam’s apple.Maybe this is more scandalous than we thought..,and is she covering ‘her’ junk w/her hands? That unibrow is ready to merge,dude.

Were I Jenny Sanford looking at this picture,and saw my son standing in back against the wall behind the smiling mistress,steam would be coming out of my ears. Tell me ladies who are voting for Sanford,how would you feel if that was your son and Chapur was your husband’s mistress ?????? If it doesn’t bother you then tell your husband to have some fun.
