What is up with this idea that every election from now on is going to be almost exactly like the last one?
Sanford wins in a landslide because of concern about the deficit, the border situation, his promise to maintain whatever tax reform the GOP gets through Congress, the lack of an unpopular foreign policy situation, and his outsider take-on-the-legislature approach. He's the kind of guy who can get into fights with Republican legislators over spending and promote federalism with credibility.
No.
Bush loves illegal immigrants and defecit spending and that will hurt Sanford.
Definitely. Bush isn't a conservative, but I have high hopes for Sanford. He won't be a fan of illegal immigration
or deficit spending (or so I hope), and therefore those issues won't hurt him if he distances himself from Bush.
