Democrats Try to Tie Sanford to Republicans

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee “is seeking to tie former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) to other House Republicans, pushing them to say whether or not they back the House nominee’s campaign to return to Congress after his fall from grace,” The Hill reports.

“Sanford’s nomination puts the GOP in a bind — the party might need to help him win the race, but it needs to avoid being tainted by his past scandal. Many Republicans have privately groused that his nomination hurts the party’s image at a time they’re trying to rebrand.”
