NRCC Throws in the Towel on Mark Sanford

From Politico:

Blindsided by news that Sanford’s ex-wife has accused him of trespassing and concluding he has no plausible path to victory, the National Republican Congressional Committee has decided not to spend more money on Sanford’s behalf ahead of the May 7 special election.

What's more remarkable about this story is that Republican voters actually wanted him back in elected office.  A fiscal and moral fraud yet they think he's the one to elect to office to showcase their perceived values.  It's nuts.
