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.
He also explained why he thinks immigration is such a hot-button issue for South Carolina Republicans -- his full answer is on the accompanying video. It's worth watching to the end. (Click the play button to the right to see it). The blimp that appears to be flying into his head in the background is a blimp commissioned by a Ron Paul supporter to fly high above the convention center here. Unintentional comedy.
I'll be back with some things to watch for of my own in a little bit.
