Did any of you watch the debate between Elizabeth Busch and Mr. Hiking the trail tonight?

I watched it online. I thought Elizabeth did a great job of showing her strength. However, the hiker managed to keep a very calm friendly voice. It seems his entire campaign against Elizabeth is that she took funds from Dem supporters, so that means she would be supporting them instead of the people of SC. The election is only one week away, and I'm sure rooting for Elizabeth. That liar needs to go back into his hiding hole.

I was hoping she would remind him that she was his opponent not Pelosi

Kept hearing some sound from audience when he mentioned Nancy, but not sure who it was pro or con.

He was all excited bercause it's very hard for someone to make up that many points in a week. I sure hope he's right!

She should have reminded people he does not have a proven track record. Why would any voter waste a vote on someone who resigned from office in disgrace?

Ye gads! Did he not hear how Hilary threw an ashtray at POTUS's head? That she had to be held back by the SS? And didn't his ex have him arrested last month? Pretending it didn't happen on the campaign trail? Would that be the Applechain Trail? Where will they seat this guy if he wins? Is there a sinner's bench in Congress? Probably last warmed by John Edwards. I don't think this is his campaign's best selling point, do you?

I thought she held her own but missed several opportunities to hit back on his lies. Think the house had more Sanford supporters. Never seeing her before I think she surprised the voters she is a real contender. What a joke he is but it may be a close one.

shows on MSNBC, but that was it. I'm a bit ashamed of myself because I was thinking a bit negatively of her because of her brother being such a comic. I appologize to Liz because I was very wrong! She's the complete opposite of her brother and I can srue see why she's winning in SC.

Personally, I'm not much for throwing a person's past indiscretions back in their face. I doubt any of us like it when it's done to us.

If I really believed he regretted what he did, but I think the only thing he regrets is getting caught!

Lying to his wife, family and the voters? Currently arrogantly ignoring a court order because he apparently is above the law? This leopard has not changed his stripes. His past is his prologue, lest the voters be fooled.
