'GLASS HOUSE'?Dems Ignore Past Scandals With Sanford Pile-On

House
Democrats'
campaign
arm ripped
Republicans Thursday for pulling support
from scandal-tinted former South
Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford despite
having seen a parade of their own
members flame out over high-profile
controversies.
On Wednesday, the National Republican
Congressional Committee said it would
not continue funding Sanford in his
political comeback bid. The
announcement came after Sanford was
accused of trespassing at his ex-wife's
home.
"Mark Sanford has proven he knows what
it takes to win elections," NRCC
spokesman Daniel Scarpinato, said. "At
this time, the NRCC will not be engaged
in this special election."
Sanford is running in a special election in
South Carolina's 1st District
congressional race. It's a position he held
from 1995 to 2001.
Democrats were quick to pile on the new
political turmoil surrounding the
Sanfords. On Thursday, Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee
spokesman Jesse Ferguson called out the
NRCC for pulling their support from
Sanford.
