What if Mark Sanford had avoided his infamous "Appalachian Trail" situation (likely never meeting Chapur) and been the Republican nominee in 2012?

It'd be an odd dynamic. He'd be a more palatable Ron Paul with gubernatorial experience and GOP leadership experience (having been head of the Republican Governor's Association).

He'd likely run left of Obama on a number of issues like Foreign Policy.

Would he end up as the establishment candidate instead of Mitt Romney in the primary?
