2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumElizabeth Colbert Busch-D for US Senate in 2014.
If Cobert-Busch-D defeats Sanford-R in the May 2013 Special Election, she will end up losing in the November 2014 Election (Republican nominee is likely to be anyone but Sanford-R, SC-1 is a Republican friendly) Colbert-D could run against Graham in 2014.

(13,867 posts)The district is considered about 55/45 generic republican, but it is a libertarian-tinged approach, not the insane fundamentalist fervor you get in SC's upstate districts. The election before Tea Party hero Tim Scott (now Senator Scott) won the district an old long time congressman named Henry Brown, who was obviously becoming senile, won by only 5 points over an openly gay woman. That couldn't happen in any of the other 5 GOP districts.
