All eyes on South Carolina Congressional race

There's just so much to love about the SC special election. Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford took the first step on the comeback from the Appallachian Trail and won the first round of the Republican primary. His chances look good for winning the subsequent run-off.

Meanwhile:

The eventual Republican candidate will square off in the May 7 general election against Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert. She won the Democratic primary for the seat, handily defeating perennial candidate Ben Frasier.

Her bro has already announced he's willing to risk his comedy career to help her. Shaping up to be a fun contest. Something to look forward to in the future. [photo via]
