The former three-term congressman and two-term governor saw his political career sidelined four years ago when he disappeared from the state only to return and confess to an extramarital affair with an Argentine woman to whom he is now engaged.

I know that the JournOList is alive and well but going by a different name. They all get their talking points down pat!

Ugh. Sanford has shown a lack of core values. If he’s elected I see a gradual re evaluation from him on things like homosexual marriage, the need for more than 10 round magazines and amnesty for illegal immigration.

Heck, soon enough expect to see him seated on a couch with Pelosi...

If you have an affair—you must marry your mistress—its the Prince Charles rule.

I actually liked Gingrich even though he can run amok. At least he would rethink some things. However his personal life was a mess and Sanford is on the same road.

SC's ex-Gov. Sanford clears hurdle in comeback bid

"I want to thank my God," Sanford said. "I used to cringe when somebody would say I want to thank my God because at that point I would think this is getting uncomfortable. But once you really receive God's grace and (have) seen it reflected in others you stop and acknowledge that grace and the difference He has made in my life and in so many lives across this state and across this nation."

TRULY honoring God would mean that he honored and kept the covenant that he made with his wife instead of following his hormones!

Good to see another honorable guy win.

I would consider voting for the Green Party over him. I probably just wouldn’t vote because I know I wouldn’t vote for him.

Maybe it's a signal that the articles are posted on April 2.

Actually the number two is showing up in the text of the articles. Two of this and two of that sort of references.

I sometimes go looking for clues. I sometimes look for clues in strange places such as written text. Most of the time ... the clue I think I found was not a clue though every once in a great while. This time maybe will be more of the same where there was or is no clue.

If he wins, Karl Rove may tout him as the GOP’s presidential standard bearer for ‘16. He would be the ideal candidate for the new values-free GOP.

I used to think that this guy was good. Fooled me. I hope he finds redemption, but not in Congress.
I’d be skipping this race if I lived there.

I hadn’t thought of that but I bet Rove loves him.

I don’t live there either but I defended him when he disappeared, until I found out where he was.

I think Miss "Evita" knows that.

Not necessarily this one. Seen several over the last few days ... mostly on NK situation.

I wonder if a conservative/tea party group might field a candidate even if it is only a write-in?

sorry gleeaikin ... a little busy at this moment. Looking at something else. My apology DJ, for throwing your thread off kilter.
