It’s tough for a disgraced politician to successfully come back from scandal. Most don’t even try. However, according to CNN and other sources, Mark Sanford might try one of the most difficult comebacks in political history. Not only is he seriously considering making a run for his old Congressional seat a few years after a sex scandal, he may — or may not — have to run against his wronged ex-wife in the primary:
Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is launching a political comeback that may begin within days.
Sanford is planning to run for the Congressional seat he held almost a decade ago, a Republican source familiar with his thinking told CNN late Thursday. …
Sanford intends to seek the Republican nomination in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, a seat being vacated by Rep. Tim Scott, who was appointed to the United States Senate earlier this week by Gov. Nikki Haley.
I suggest the former governor take a hike on the Appalachian trail.
