"Mark" Sanford Jr. at number 8 in its power rankings among Republican potential candidates.Through its use of wire reports, campaign staffer scuttlebutt and confidential tips from readers, the "Jockey" who handles rankings at PoliticalDerby.com said it felt "ashamed" that Sanford had too long been unranked and relegated to the "others receiving votes" category.
