6. or maybe this....

7. He offered the fact that his girlfriend would diaper him nightly

Diapering goes a long way in the redemption of those who have made sexual transgressions in the Republican party. It is a mark of Republican sainthood.

11. Has he ever had to work i.e. regular job??

Just wondering. Don't know. I figure if he is running again it must be because he could not find anything else. I mean, why would he put himself out there?? Ego??

12. Definitely has a pair n/t

13. I'm vaguely familiar with this person, but he looks like he takes after Boehner with the tanning.

14. Other candidates sound like an Onion spoof!Stephen Colbert's sister;Ted Turner's son!

"In a Republican primary, Sanford will face Teddy Turner, son of the media mogul, and other candidates. Elizabeth Colbert Busch, sister of Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert, is the likely Democratic candidate."

From Wikipedia:
Colbert-Busch is a founder and former member of the Executive Board of Directors of Charleston Women in International Trade, and former member of the College of Charleston’s Business College Alumni Advisory Board.[16] She’s also served as chairwoman of the 2006 S.C. International Trade Conference, the chairwoman of the Maritime Association Port of Charleston and is board member of the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce.
2013 congressional campaign
Main article: South Carolina's 1st congressional district special election, 2013

On January 18, 2013, Colbert-Busch announced that she would run for the Democratic nomination in the 2013 special election for South Carolina's 1st congressional district to fill the vacancy of Tim Scott, who was appointed to the United States Senate after incumbent Senator Jim DeMint resigned to head conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. In the March 19 Democratic primary, she will face Charleston businessman Martin Skelly, the founder of the Russian-based private equity firm UFG Asset Management.

And on the GOP side, facing off against Sanford, we find the conservative son of Ted Turner:
"He’s been trashing his dad every chance he gets to show voters of the 1st Congressional District he’s not some tree-hugging lefty — or worse yet, Jane Fonda’s son.

"Turner the candidate is anti-tax, opposes same-sex marriage and questions whether global warming is real. In other words, everything his billionaire father is not.
