Give me your best guess... won't the governors who opposed the stim still accept the money?

[Doctor_Horrible]

I'm in SC with Sanford and I'm somewhat worried. I know Clyburn put a couple of things in the bill - like money has to be used within 45 days. BUT - will GOPers like Sanford screw us?

1. The ones who opposed the stim should get none nt

2. that's what I'd be saying if I weren't REALLY worried about my job - I'm a teacher

[Sarah Ibarruri]

4. Oh :( I'm sorry. You teachers are vital. Education needs to be a priority nt

3. I feel sorry for people in SC. I've never seen a more arrogant Governor

They better monitor what he does with the money.

8. I've seen a more arrogant governor.

His name had a "W." in the middle of it.

But here in SC, we're all too aware of how bad Sanford is.

11. arrogant and idiotic are never a happy mix

[rwheeler31]

5. Yup

6. Did you see this?

Lindsey Graham on the very topic you raised: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/02/12/graham-stimulus-crazy/

9. yeah... but since Sanford only cares about 2012....

I AM holding on to the fact that he played that game of chicken about not accepting federal money for our bankrupt unemployment program but ultimately blinked at the last second. SO... maybe this is the same but on a larger scale.
