Will Therese Sander Campaign with Off-Brand Senate Candidate Schaefer in Randolph Co.?

We already know that newly-minted GOPer Kurt Schaefer will take a beating in November as he goes up against Democratic incumbent Chuck Graham in an ill-advised run for the state senate.  

The only real question is whether Schaefer will be able to save any face and maintain an air of respectability around his campaign.  Judging by some Jason Rosenbaum video from last week, things aren't looking good on that front for Fred Ferrell's lawyer.  

In fact, some insiders are questioning whether key Republicans from inside the 19th Senate district will support or campaign with Schaefer after some revelations he made to the Columbia Trib reporter last week.  Specifically, the suggestion is that Rep. Therese Sander --whose Randolph County 22nd House district sits within the 19th Senate district-- will give Schaefer the cold shoulder. 

Sanders, one of the assembly's nuttiest and most hard-core anti-choicers, may brush Schaefer off given his on-camera admission that he "supports the status quo" on the issue of abortion and was in favor of 2006's Amendment 2, which protected embryonic stem cell research.

With Schaefer frozen out by Republican establishment figures in the part of the district that should be most favorable to him, the prospects for his utter embarrassment look increasingly strong.

Uninspiring, Underfunded, Unelectable, Unclued . . .
