GOP Loses Another One

Gov. Mark Sanford R-SC was caught in an affair with a woman from Argentina, he declared in a press conference today. http://www.thestate.com/154/story/838823.html
"I have developed a relationship with what started as a dear dear friend from Argentina. It began very innocently as I expect many of these things do, just casual email back and forth," Sanford said. "But here recently this last year developed into something much more."
Asked if Sanford was separated from his wife, he said "I don't know how you want to define that. I"m here and she's there. I guess in a formal sense we are not."
Unlike liberals and specifically the Democrats, the GOP of South Carolina are already throwing Sanford under the bus and want him to resign. If he were a Democrat, you know they would encourage him to stay in office and say it is a private matter.
Sanford was considered a leading contender for the GOP presidential race and because of this, he is toast. John Ensign of Nevada who, at least in his eyes, thought he was a presidential contender was also outed last week for an affair. If this keeps up, we're not going to have any quality presidential contenders left, except for Sarah Palin.
