Why on earth does everyone think Sanford is going to win in a landslide? He beat Hodges in 2002 who was not particularly popular then by less than 6%. Sanford will probably win in 2006, but almost certainly not with a double digit margin.
I'm sorry, but I disagree. This is a libertarian-cloaked in Evangelism governor, in a like-minded state. I've seen an ungodly number of Sanford stickers affixed to Saudi juice-guzzlers dropping their kid off at an all white--errr...private--school while they go wine-tasting for the day (so the wine-tasting part is made up, but I do wonder whether people in Chucktown have jobs). I have yet to see one Moore sticker. The fact is that my soon-to-be former state is run by Hilton Head, gentrified-Charleston and Mt. Pleasant, and Lexington county. They must not happen to have polling places in Orangeburg or Columbia. The place is pretty scary, as is Georgia (kind of hoping the family reunion will be elsewhere!). I have few problems with the Evangelism, but the abounding flat tax bumper stickers make my blood boil.
