Fiscal HAWK Mark Sanford...
- South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who has yet to offer an endorsement in the 2008 Republican presidential contest, said today that he would not completely rule out accepting the number two spot on the ticket.2008 Race Posted by AlexC at February 24, 2007 12:52 AM"Anybody who says they wouldn't look at something of that magnitude isn't being honest," Sanford said in an interview from his Capitol office.
Sanford, who won a convincing re-election last fall, cautioned that because of his four young sons (or "family dynamics," as he put it), he is unlikely to continue in elected office past 2010, but said he still wants to remain in the policy arena.
"We want to look for a way we can continue to advance ideas," said the former maverick congressman and wonk in an office that included a healthy stack of books.
Mort Kondracke teased Fred Barnes on FOXNews's "Beltway Boys" that "[Barnes’s] heroes, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mark Sanford, have both come out supporting man-made global warming."
All the same, sign me up for a Giuliani-Sanford ticket.

It's a good read.
