Joel Sawyer says ...

Tomorrow the governor is going to send the (Section) 1607 certification for everything except the stabilization funds. The governor will apply for that (additional) money if the General Assembly is willing to compromise and pay down some debt with it.
Yet another conservative, in this case South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, runs his mouth for weeks on end stating one of the bedrock principals of conservatism. He's going to refuse the stimulus money! It's bad policy! He's going to refuse despite the fact that South Carolina has the second highest unemployment rate in the country. He's going to refuse despite the fact that South Carolina is about to lay off thousands of teachers. Can you feel the power of conservatism?

Well, turns out that even Sanford knows that conservatism is crap and instead of standing up for what passes for his principals, he's caved and will accept the money. Conservatives are so funny and so very, very predictable.
