Last night, I was exchanging emails with Governor Sanford’s communications advisor. I asked him how the governor was holding up. As you know, in the last few months the South Carolina governor has been the target of many attacks (including yesterday’s NY Times) for refusing parts of the stimulus money. He has also been the target of a series of negative ads by the DNC.

His answer: “He’s doing great. It may sound like spin, but when we travel the state people are totally on board with what he’s doing. So while it might not sit well with the editorial boards and whatnot, it’s resonating with folks. That helps.”
