Washington Post conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin has a post today with the riveting title: Santorum vs. Sanford.

The post itself isn’t particularly interesting, but one of Rubin’s sources is:

Conservative blogger Robert Stacy McCain also points to Sanford’s problems with voters:

The former Pennsylvania senator’s endorsement comes with just a week remaining until the April 2 runoff that will pit Bostic, a former Charleston County council member, against Sanford, who got 37 percent of the vote in a 16-candidate field in the March 19 Republican primary… . A newly released Public Policy Polling survey shows the SC-1 race surprisingly close, in part because voters “continue to strongly dislike Sanford,” who was censured by the legislature for ethics violations related to the former governor’s affair with an Argentine woman.

Robert Stacy McCain, identified by Rubin as a “conservative blogger,” is the man who wrote this:

“[T]he media now force interracial images into the public mind and a number of perfectly rational people react to these images with an altogether natural revulsion. The white person who does not mind transacting business with a black bank clerk may yet be averse to accepting the clerk as his sister-in-law, and THIS IS NOT RACISM, no matter what Madison Avenue, Hollywood and Washington tell us.”

He’s apparently considered a reputable source by today’s conservatives, but McCain has a long and unsavory history of overtly racist statements and connections to neo-Nazis, white nationalists, “race realists,” and neo-Confederate slavery apologists.
