Elizabeth Colbert-Busch Blows Out a Desperate Mark Sanford in South Carolina Debate

[No Vested Interest]

17. The moderators were very poor, I thought

They would tell Sanford he still had time left on his thirty seconds, and he would go on and on way past the 30. They would give Elizabeth 30 seconds to respond - she was usually quite brief and to the point, then Sanford got (or took, unrestrained by the moderators) another period of time, running off his mouth.

His long-winded answers reminded me of his talking too much at his heralded press conference when he returned from his hike/trip to Argentina.

Sanford also did not answer directly, but made allusions to others, such as he did when asked about his (? infidelity/romance) he brought up Bill Clinton but didn't answer for his own behavior.
