GUV: GOP WILL WIN SC IN NOV; TPS: NO FREAKING WAY!

Prior to leaving the Republican National Convention early to prepare for Tropical Storm Hanna, Gov. Mark Sanford took a moment to speak with Reuters about GOP presidential nominee John McCain’s chances of winning South Carolina’s eight electoral votes. And mercifully, he didn’t stumble.

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford feels pretty good about John McCain’s chances in his state.

“If we gotta worry about South Carolina, go ahead and fold up the tent — the whole match is over,” he tells Inside the Tent contributor John Steward. “No worries in South Carolina, and if they come, we got real problems.”

I think we should start calling Sanford “Miss Cleo,” because this guy can really tell fortunes. When McCain wins South Carolina, everyone will be like, “don’t forget how Sanford called it two months ago when he was only up in the polls by a few dozen points.

This isn’t the first time in this presidential election that Sanford made a stunning move. Remember in March when he put everything on the line to endorse McCain after everyone else already had? Maybe we should be referring to Sanford as the Maverick.
