So Elizabeth Colbert Busch went down to defeat tonight in SC-01, not particularly surprisingly. I received dozens of e-mails in the last couple of weeks asking for cash support, all of which I wisely deleted. Frankly, this project was a good waste of Democratic time and money--Colbert Busch was a DINO with a few Progressive views, facing the extremely flawed Mark Sanford, and very likely would have lost in 2014 versus a less controversial candidate (see also, Kathy Hochul) even if she had won. Trying to win a Southern congressional seat in a deep red district with a weak ass Liberal was hopeless and we should have just wished Colbert Busch well and moved on to more possible victories.
On a side note that won't be much discussed in the traditional media, for all the republicans' talk about family values and wasteful government spending, they sure didn't seem to have much trouble voting for Sanford who left his wife and four boys for another woman while he was Governor, and cost the people of South Carolina millions of dollars with his shenanigans.
Can you say hypocrisy, boys and girls?
Peace,
