Sanford wins back SC House seat in comeback bid
Former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford defeats Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch with about 54 percent of the vote in a district that has not elected a Democrat in 30 years. He vows to run again only if his bid succeeds, after a career marred by the Appalachian Trail scandal and a $70,000 ethics fine. Green candidate Eugene Platt also ran.
