Had a chance to spend some time with Attorney General Henry McMaster today. McMaster, who almost certainly will run for governor in two years, was in town to see various people this afternoon -- including our editorial board and some local GOP activists.

On our way back from lunch, I asked McMaster almost as an aside if he'd seen the Web site to draft current South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford to run for president in 2012. He said he hadn't, but that Sanford would make an "attractive" candidate.

"He'll get a lot of support nationally. People will be very interested in him," McMaster said. "He is a Southerner. He will have been a two-term governor of a prominent Southern state. On a number of highly principled issues, he is right. And personally, he is a very attractive, personable man."

Sanford seems to have been making more appearances in the national spotlight lately. He appeared on Fox News this morning.
