Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's (R) attempted political resurrection has turned the state’s House special election into one of the most unusual races in recent memory.
He's been damaged by personal accusations and peculiar missteps, and responded in ways previously unimagined by political operatives.
Senior Republicans believe Sanford could still win in the heavily conservative district on May 7 — but it won’t be easy. Or pretty.
