Gov. Mark Sanford offers his debate predictions

Thu, January 10, 2008 - 5:58 PM

While many prominent South Carolina politicians have endorsed presidential candidates, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, a Republican, is perhaps the most prominent one who still remains on the sidelines. I caught up with him outside the debate hall, and asked him why, and his expectations for tonight's debate.

In a nutshell: he's too busy with his kids and being governor to endorse and campaign for anyone, and he expects more focus on the economy tonight than in past, foreign-policy heavy debates, and a lot more talk about immigration, which is a hot-button issue in this state.

Here's a link to a video of my interview with Sanford (Video player on the right side of the screen).

We're getting close. More soon.
