South Carolina Holds Primaries for 1st Congressional Seat 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
South Carolina held primaries on Tuesday for the state's 1st District
congressional seat. 
Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert, won the
Democratic nomination. The state's former governor, Mark Sanford, led
the Republican field, advancing to a runoff vote early next month.
Sanford is mounting a political comeback after leaving office under the
cloud of a highly publicized extramarital affair in 2011.
