This would be mortifying for Speaker Boehner:
When Boehner endorsed Mark Sanford, he must’ve thought the South Carolina special election would be a piece of cake. Districts don’t get much more Republican than this.
But Elizabeth Colbert Busch (Stephen Colbert’s sister!) is on the verge of proving him wrong. With 9 days left, Elizabeth has a narrow lead over Sanford!
Now Sanford is pulling out all of the stops to smear Elizabeth. We’re just $250,000 short of what we need to fight Republican attacks in races like this.
Mitt Romney won this district by 18 points and a Democrat hasn’t held it in 30 years. It would really sting Boehner if Elizabeth won this seat.
But winning seats like this is going to take everything we have. We have to stay strong and meet every Republican attack with the truth. Can we count on you?
