It was you who helped elect Mark Sanford.

Those idiots with anti-Obama bumperstickers (they only exist in South Carolina) are a finite number. It was those on the fence that we had to lure, and they had a choice between someone who had represented them before, who came to them with humility, and a an unknown candidate who they did not know. If they took into consideration those who supported her, and were faced with your ignorant, narrow minded hatred, their choice was easy. And we saw the results tonight.

Every time the National Party has asked us to work hard, we have. We know we have little or no chance in this state, and climate but we bust our asses. Your stupidity makes it harder and harder each time we have to find volunteers and supporters making it harder each election.
