I thought I saw a poll that had him tied with ECB at 45% each.

But in all seriousness, since I believe SC is open primary, I expect a lot of Democrats to cross over to support Sanford.

That doesn't usually happen and anyone who voted in the Democratic primary is ineligible to vote in the Republican runoff.

Bostic is very much a religious right Republican and SC-1 is far more a small government/strong defense district.  The numbers for a candidate like Bostic would be higher if the race was in SC-3, 4, or 5.

Isn't one comedian (albeit an election thief) in Washington enough?

Elizabeth Colbert-Busch isn't a comedian.

Sanford is.  Here's a photo of Gov. Sanford showing up with "Pork" and "Barrel" at the State House in 2004 to complain about the General Assembly overriding his line-item vetoes too quickly for his taste.

Rothenberg reminds us that Colbert-Busch is still the underdog in a ruby-red district.

Well, I enjoy interesting races. I just don't enjoy almost losing or actually losing safe seats. Roll Eyes

Then I suggest you ignore the SC-1 race until its over, for it will definitely be closer than it normally should be.

Just like Sanford was definitely not going to win the runoff?

He got lucky in who got second place.  If it had been one of the State Senators or Representatives as I had thought it would be, then yeah.  Bostic came in under my radar thanks to the large field, and I had said that Sanford could win if got to face a fringy opponent who had enough support to get second place but who wouldn't appeal to the broader GOP electorate.  My fault was not in underestimating Sanford's chances, it was underestimating the chance of someone like Bostic.  Sanford will probably be able to pull it off now, but it will be close.

Now the GE will be needlessly tight, though I still think Sanford wins. One only hopes a) he doesn't stick around long b) he doesn't set his sights on statewide office.
