Ugh. And thus South Carolina reigns supreme as the craziest state in the Union:
Disgraced ex-South Carolina governor Mark Sanford won his bid for redemption on Tuesday night, defeating Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch for his old seat in Congress.
Sanford, a Republican who admitted an extramarital affair in 2009, was ready to quit politics for good if he was not victorious in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. He will replace Republican Tim Scott, who was appointed to the Senate.
Adding…
Sanford must appear in Charleston County Family Court on Thursday on his ex-wife’s complaint.
