CHARLESTON, SC — Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch portrayed her Republican rival Mark Sanford as a dishonest job-killer who voted against the dredging of the Charleston port during a debate Monday, while Sanford characterized her as a wishy-washy union-backer who relies on special interest money from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other national Democrats.

...SNIP...

Only one reference was made to Sanford’s 2009 admission to an extramarital affair.

Answering a question about spending, Colbert Busch referenced Sanford’s surprise absence from the state in June 2009 during which he visited his Argentinian lover, now his fiancée.

“When we talk about fiscal spending and we talk about protecting the taxpayers, it doesn’t mean you take that money we saved and leave the country for a personal purpose,” Colbert Busch said.

1. Sanford isn't Wishy-Washy?

The guy who couldn't decide if he was on the Appalachian trail
or in Argentina?

Who wandered from his marriage?

Time for Mark Sanford to take a hike.

2. Sanford's got an unhealthy obsession with Nancy Pelosi.

3. She's become the boogieman for the GOP

Kind of like George Soros. Theyention her whenever they are losing an argument or are trying to score points with the base.

6. I get that, but I don't get why they think it's a winning strategy.

Especially when something like 40% of Americans can't even identify the Vice President.

4. I hope that after the elections

when are they, by the way? She will no longer be marked as "Stephen Colbert Sister."

She is entitled to be judged - for better or worse - as her own person.
