Mark Sanford has just defeated Elizabeth Colbert Busch in South Carolina's First Congressional District's special election. He won 54% - 46%. Sanford, who was exiled by National Republicans when word got out that his ex-wife is suing him for trespassing. Sanford said that even though they originally didn't accept him he will "have friends in Washington." including John Boehner, who sent his congratulations to Sanford on his big win. His win could be a sign for other politicians that were involved in scandals, such as former Congressman Anthony Weiner. Wiener, who may run for New York City mayor in 2013 is looking more like he can have a come back after he sent pictures of his Weiner to underage girls, ruining his congressional career. If a very conservative South Carolina can forgive Sanford for what he did, then a liberal upper West side can easily forgive Weiner.
In my opinion South Carolina just elected a creep who may appear in court the same day he is sworn into congress. He ruined his kids lives and does not deserve to be in congress. Elizabeth Colbert Busch is a proven leader, who deserves to be in congress, and South Carolina made a horrible decision. As an American I am ashamed that he is one of our lawmakers.
