belong to conservatives, independents, moderate centrists, that sort of thing. That seems to be all they have in SC, this is the State where Obama did those shows with Donnie McClurkin and the other anti gay preachers and entertainers. At that time, OFA folks told me that SC Democrats are largely very conservative, and the ONLY way to win their votes included a need to 'prove Obama's standing in the faith community' by employing hate preachers off the 700 Club to act as surrogate to the candidate. What this tells me is that those who embraced the hypocrisy of the McClurkin events would be happy to embrace Sanford, who is also a hypocrite like they are a good heterosexual hypocrite who says Jesus and does what he wants. Just like they are.
