“A website connecting users looking for casual, and often extramarital,
affairs is making Mark Sanford the face of their new marketing campaign,
and it could not come at a worst time for the former governor,” WCSC-TV reports.

The State has this exchange from last night’s debate in South Carolina’s first congressional district:

Elizabeth Colbert Busch: “When we talk about fiscal spending and we talk about
protecting the taxpayers, it doesn’t mean you take that money we saved
and leave the country for a personal purpose.”

Moderator John Avlon: “She went there, Gov. Sanford.”

Mark Sanford: “I couldn’t hear what she said. Repeat it, I didn’t hear it.”

Colbert Busch: “Answer the question.”

Sanford: “What was the question?”

Voters head to the polls in Massachusetts for the special election Senate primary today with a light turnout expected.

Boston Globe: “Massachusetts Secretary of State William F. Galvin today predicted an overall lower turnout for Tuesday’s special US Senate primary election than in the same contest in 2009. Galvin said he expected about 550,000 Democratic ballots would be cast Tuesday in the two-person contest, down from the 669,000 in the 2009 US Senate special primary election. On the Republican side, he said he predicts about 200,000 people will cast primary ballots in the three-person race, up from 165,000 in 2009.”

Polls close at 8:00 pm ET.

“House Republicans are targeting popular ‘mommy blog’ websites in a
digital ad campaign beginning Tuesday as part of an ongoing effort to
repair the GOP’s image with certain voting blocs — in this case swing
female voters — who have sided decisively with Democrats in recent
elections,” USA Today reports.

“The banner ads will be featured on over 100 websites popular
among women and geo-targeted to be viewed by residents in 20
Democratic-held congressional districts targeted by the GOP for 2014.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “has set an ambitious goal for
his reelection campaign: to build the most sophisticated Republican
digital and data operation to date,” National Journal reports.

“The Kentucky Republican, known more
as tactician than technologist, is making a major investment in
technology infrastructure in hopes that a treasure trove of real-time
data about the electorate will help guide him to a sixth term.”

Elizabeth Colbert Busch (D) portrayed Mark Sanford (R) “as a dishonest job-killer who voted against the dredging of the Charleston port during a debate Monday, while Sanford characterized her as a wishy-washy union-backer who relies on special interest money from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other national Democrats,” The State reports.

Politico: “And so it went on one issue after another — from jobs and spending to Obamacare and gun control — in a 75-minute slugfest ahead of next week’s battle for a vacant South Carolina congressional seat.”

“It was their sole one-on-one encounter of the general election — and Colbert Busch, who is leading in polls, was so aggressive that Sanford at times looked like he didn’t know what hit him.”
