Coming soon. Just over a week to go before the March 19 Republican primary in South Carolina's 1st CD, the seat Rep. Tim Scott (R) vacated when he went to the Senate. As has been the case from the outset, former Gov. Mark Sanford, who once held this House seat but who is best remembered for having disappeared to Argentina for a spell in 2009, is getting all the ink and is probably the frontrunner. The talk these past few days is over a Sanford profile piece in New York magazine, which states Sanford asked his ex-wife, Jenny Sanford, to run his campaign. Jenny Sanford had been the brains for all of her husband's campaigns, dating back to his first congressional bid in 1994 and through his two gov. runs in 2002 and 2006. But considering how she was humiliated and embarrassed over the exposure of his affair with "soul mate" Maria Belen Chapur, the request has attracted a lot of notice. The real question is which of his 15 GOP rivals will face Sanford in the April 2 runoff. Teddy Turner, the son of the media mogul who is miles away from his father ideologically, is perhaps the most famous opponent. But watch out for state Sen. Larry Grooms; he is said to be equally conservative as Sanford (without the baggage) and has picked up the endorsements of GOP Reps. Jeff Duncan and Mick Mulvaney. The likely Democratic candidate is Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the director of business development for an environmental research institute at Clemson and sister of comedian Stephen Colbert. Roll Call's Stu Rothenberg reminds us that the 1998 Dem candidate for the seat (against then-GOP incumbent Henry Brown Jr.) lost by only four points. He writes that it's "not impossible" Colbert Busch could win, but she'll need a "perfect campaign and plenty of luck to have a chance." Still, he rates her as a "clear underdog" in the May 7 general election. The seat, which went 58 percent for Mitt Romney last year, has been in GOP hands since 1981.
