So, Democrats don't actually have a preference as to whether Colbert or Stanford wins? I don't think that is the case. Nor, do I see how Stanford winning is another other than stinging rebuke of Nancy Pelosi.
Obviously Colbert Busch winning would be preferred by the Dems, but it's not the most important thing the Dems can hope to achieve in this race, especially since it doesn't matter who holds the district until a new Republican takes the district in 2014. In a district as Republican as the 1st is, it is impossible for any Republican to deliver a stinging rebuke to Pelosi unless he wins by 20 points, which Sanford ain't going to do. A Sanford single digit win won't even be a mild chastisement of Pelosi.
I have to agree. The election of Bob Turner to Weiner's seat was a rebuke of Pelosi, not the election of Sanford to a seat in a race that was closer than it had to be.
