Cruzin’ on the Appalachian trail
by digby
South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford endorsed Ted Cruz at a Charleston rally Friday afternoon, boosting the Texas senator in the final hours before the first-in-the-South primary.
Polls here largely show a close race between Cruz and Marco Rubio for second place, with Donald Trump well outpacing both of them. Sanford’s endorsement of Cruz helps him notch some credibility in the southern part of the state, where Sanford’s district is, even as Cruz has been mostly concentrated on the more conservative upstate region.
Proving once more that even the most pious conservatives can be flexible when they need to be.
