DNC Attacks Sanford On South Carolina TV

The Democratic National Committee is now going after South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, perhaps the most prominent anti-stimulus Republican in the country, with this new TV ad set to begin airing Monday in the Columbia media market:

The ad accuses Sanford, a vocal conservative, of playing politics in his refusal of stimulus money. "South Carolina is facing tough times - but Governor Sanford is playing politics instead of doing what's right," the announcer says. "Turning down millions in Recovery Act funds, putting politics ahead of health care, jobs and schools."

Even in a state as red as SC, I can't imagine Sanford's action is going to play well. Things are pretty bad in SC right now.

Who is this proactive DNC and what did they do with the old one, anyway?

Perhaps this is Tim Kaine's influence?

Sanford can't run again so he is setting himself up as a possible pres/vp or some leadership role in Republican party. Red purple blue, Sanford, we thank you!

I mean, Sanford can't run as gov in SC again. Maybe he wants to go to congress? Maybe McCains vp candidate in '12 or Palins? Who knows with that wild and crazy guy?
