South Carolina's First Congressional District Special Election Preview

     The special election for South Carolina's First Congressional District is tomorrow. Democratic candidate Elizabeth Colbert-Busch, and Republican candidate Former Gov. Mark Sanford are squaring off in a tight battle.  In the beginning of the race Colbert-Busch did not have much going for her, other than that she was the sister of Steven Colbert, the star of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report. She was going up against a very popular former governor in a very republican district. She decided to run once the seat was vacated by Sen. Tim Scott (R – SC). It's been an uphill battle ever since and latest polls only have her trailing by one point (47% – 46%). She received a lot of help from her opponent when word got out that his ex-wife was suing him for trespassing. Sanford said that the claims are false. If the Democrats were to win it would give them a lot of help in a very Republican-controlled House. It would only put them down 20 seats something that House Minority Leader Pelosi House Minority Whip Hoyer, two very experienced politicians, could handle. The race will be a very close one and a good one to watch. Either of them can win and we can only wait until tomorrow to find out.
