Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) issues no Republican endorsement; praises Barack Obama

[Verily]

Does Sanford have any sway with Democrats?

He is popular, but I doubt he holds any serious sway over Democrats anyway. I am most surprised by the lack of McCain endorsement.

Does Sanford have any sway with Democrats?

No, but I dont think that really matters here. Theres no party registration in SC, so Indies and leaning Reps could be swayed easy.

Maybe, but SC will be competitive on the GOP side, too (though if the GOP candidates go negative, some disaffecteds could vote for Obama).

Both sides have open primaries (I think), and they're held a week apart.

Is there anything preventing people from voting in both?

No; it's a unique situation (and I had forgotten that in my previous post).

Sadly, my dream ticket of Charles Schumer and Rahm Emmanuel will probably never happen.

Yeah, sadly. The GOP feels the same. You must admit that Schumer and Emmanuel aren't appealing.

While Rahm Emanuel may not be electorally "appealing," he'll have plenty of power as the next Speaker of the House.

A bit soon to be calling Pelosi's downfall, isn't it?
