Carolina Dispatch

We just got back from the SC on Sunday, and, aside from the serial killer madness in nearby Gaffney (always a rough little town), the big story was--no surprise--the Guv of Luv. The universal buzz? Sanford may be awful, but Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer is worse. Apparently, he can't drive 55 (or even double that) and has wrecked a couple of airplanes. Now I'm not sure how that really makes him worse. Yet there seems to be a great lack of confidence in him across party lines, coupled with GOP fears of elevating him in a crowded field for the 2010 nomination.
