South Carolina’s former Gov. Mark Sanford is the man to beat in the GOP primary to fill the state’s 1st Congressional District, according to internal campaign polls obtained by Island Packet:

Internal polling by several campaigns indicate Sanford has captured about one-third of likely GOP voters, making him the front-runner.

That’s leading to some mudslinging among the other candidates vying to emerge from Tuesday’s GOP primary. Assuming no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote — which is not expected with 16 candidates in the race — Sanford and the runner-up will duke it out in an April 2 GOP runoff.
