Sanford's latest campaign stunt:

Sanford asks opponent to join him on campaign tour

CHARLESTON — Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford returns to the campaign trail next week and wants his Democratic congressional opponent, Elizabeth Colbert Busch, to join him.

Sanford, the GOP nominee for the vacant 1st District seat, has been dealing with the fallout from a trespassing complaint filed in divorce court by his ex-wife Jenny – a complaint that prompted the National Republican Congressional Committee to pull support from his campaign.

The campaign released a statement Friday saying Sanford plans to make 15 stops in five days next week in the Republican-leaning district on the state’s coast.

“To date, my opponent has refused to do any joint public appearances or debate the issues for the benefit of voters in the 1st District,” Sanford said. “Without debate on issues we are getting what President Obama and Nancy Pelosi gave us with ObamaCare – pass it and then you can see what’s in it. Now it’s vote for Colbert Busch and then see where she stands on the issues.”

Don't go near him. He is a walking disaster.
