Good. Lesser of two evils. BTW, the polls were 100% off in this race. It was +1 Colbert yesterday.
ZitatCharleston, South Carolina (CNN) -- Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford on Tuesday revived his once-dead political career by winning the special election for an open U.S. House seat that he had previously held for three terms, CNN projects.
With 70% of the vote in, Republican Sanford led Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch by a 54%-45% margin.
Once considered a possible presidential candidate, Sanford left the governor's office at the end of his term in 2010 having admitted to an extramarital affair and under a cloud of ethics violations. He represented the district in Congress for six years before being elected governor.
Before the race, businesswoman Colbert Busch was best known as the sister of Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."
Sanford spent the last day of what could have been his last race making 10 campaign appearances in the district. Colbert Busch, meanwhile, parked her campaign bus and instead made calls to voters from a campaign phone bank.
Although the district has been in Republican hands since 1981, polling showed the race to be a toss-up.

I DESPISE Mark Sanford, but the comparison to the "Lyin' of the Senate" is unfair. Sanford hasn't drowned anybody, or served as Jabba the Hutt at a rape.
