Sanford/Colbert debate on CSPAN tonite 4-29 7pm

[jmdrake]

It finally dawned on me what that exchange was really about. Sanford had mentioned that they had "worked together" in the past. She was a lobbyist for shipping concerns. She was lobbying for Sanford to vote yes on some bill that included Federal money for dredging. He voted "no". She was mad. The reference to her donating to his campaign has a whole new meaning in this context. She expected a big payback for that donation.

Oh snap! Good call! So...for all of her talk about "not being paid for" her biggest complaint against Sanford is that she didn't get what she paid for?

Seems reasonable Brian, though I don't understand why she would write him a check AFTER he voted against it. Seems she would write the check before the vote if she was trying to win his vote. Plus, if she thinks $500 is all it takes to buy a vote then she's a rookie.

I wasn't sure which of his races she donated to. All of them, maybe?

That could be explained by the fact that some interests always donate, in hope of getting something out of it. Which also explains why people or organizations (usually business interests) sometimes donate to both (or multiple) candidates in a given race.

Nothing worse to a crony corporatist than someone who doesn't play ball with them.
