I feel jaded at 23. I should be scared of a potential Sanford win.

[Gravitycollapse]

I'm starting to feel more and more like these situations are black comedies. Laughing because it's the only thing I can do in the face of such absurdity.

Let's hope those polls indicating a dead heat are horse shit.

1. In South Carolina it will be very very hard for Colbert Busch to win

Better hope for a big turn out in the women's vote.

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

2. She needs turn out from women's voters,

and low republican turnout. That's her only chance in that district.

[Botany]

12. Even republican women will not stand for Sanford's act ......

..... not showing up on father's day so he can meet his honey in S. America.

However the stupid is very strong with some .....

[Warpy]

3. I've felt that way since Nixon got in

It's been a long and bitter laughing session.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

4. She has a huge lead in Charleston County so far....

Only 10% of the precincts in that county have reported so far, with 28% of precincts overall reporting....

Hope it is a good indication!

5. I don't understand the stress...

In parts of the nation Sanford couldn't garner 5% of the vote and in some districts he will win easily.

This is a divided nation of disparate people. All the congressman represent a home district that pretty much shares their values and that's the way we all want it. I won't impose my values on a rural county in TEXAS and I expect that my little home county in the SF Bay area won't be affected by a RW'er.

Live and let live...

6. "Live and let live" is a statement of complacency in the face of oppression and greed.

7. It's not that simple, not remotely

It's very easy to live in a place where your neighbors mostly disagree with you and you with them.

Look at SC on that map, according to DU it should be bright red but it's not.

8. I can only speak from my own personal experiences

But I can feel a 60/40 area from a 40/60 area.

When progressive live in an area where they feel in the majority they can cheerfully flaunt it. I can throw (recycle) away New Yorker magazines without worrying if the garbage man will come back and key my car.

I can drive my 2013 Prius C 50mph if I want to when other cars are going 60mph and my neighbors understand me. In some parts of the country New Yorker mags in the trash and an underspeed Prius will make you physically at risk.

EDIT: and to be fair... a 2013 Porsche Carrera with a RR bumper sticker might attract some stonesin some areas.

[HangOnKids]

13. New Yorker Mag and Prius and you live in the Bay Area

[krawhitham]

9. "Let's hope those polls indicating a dead heat are horse shit. " They were

But not they way we hoped

Hell 2 weeks ago PPP had Sanford down 9 points, now he is going to win by 9

2 weeks and an 18 point swing, WTF

[Skidmore]

10. Chris Hayes just announced for Sanford on his program.

Rs are hypocrites of the first order.

[LeftInTX]

11. The south has elected worse

Don't put anything past them.

Gov Wallace, Strom Thurmond

We've got our lunatics in Texas: Cuz, Stockman and Gohmert

I think Stockman is the worst of them. He's really bad. He even stood up for Timothy McVeigh. He got voted out of congress after that stuff, but now he's back.
