Yup. What scum - cheating on their wives. And Sanford - doing it on Father's day.
He deserves ruin.
At this rate, Romney may be the only one left for the GOP in 2012. Wouldn't be bad. Though Obama's likely to get a second term anyway, so we may want to sacrifice someone else.

No - Run Romney. He'll be too old to run after that and these past 8 years are his window. If he doesn't run next, he'll never run again I think. We need to put a stark alternative up agaisnt Obama, particularly if his policies fall flat or he seems extreme at the end of his 4 years. We hardly have a shot in hell - it would be a waste to blow a young career.
The GOP sacrifices old bulls, Democrats sacrifice lambs.
*Edit - I want Sanford to resign (althought it isn't my state). I simply don't trust people who betray their immediate families. How could anyone trust someone to do right by them whose own wife couldn't?

Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
Romney does look like a decent candidate. I probably wouldn't vote for him but I'd like to think the debate would be civil.

Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
Sanford should be impeached and removed from the governorship of SC. He left the state with no executive leadership and no way to contact him in case of a state emergency for 5 days. His judgement and lackadasical approach to responsibilty & duty clearly indicate he's not fit to govern. gee, you think this will hurt my chances to get the republican nomination for president? He'll probably get applauded like Senator Ensign for fessing up. Another standup guy.

Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
He and ensign are written off. Human Garbage. If we can't find a way to get them out of office for something illegal we should all vote against them FOR anyone else.

What happens in Buenos Aires stays in Buenos Aires... sometimes, doh
Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
Ditto that.
Had it just been the affair, I'd say let the voters decide- an affair is a serious character issue, imo, but I'd be content to let it play out in the campaign. But when you add to that the string of lies surrounding it and his dereliction of duty while off on his fling.... it's time for him to pack it in.

Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
An Email between Sanford and his lover (from December... for some reason only published now)... Worth reading for the laughs:
You have a particular grace and calm that I adore. You have a level of sophistication that so fitting with your beauty. I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificent gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curve of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night’s light - but hey, that would be going into sexual details ...
Rest in Peace TosaInu, the Org will be your legacy
Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
At least it was a woman.
Yup, he's not fit to govern. Impeachment sounds right.

Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
I usually don't care when pollie's cheat, cuz it seems so rampant. But this one reeks with irresponsibility, dereliction of duty, and maybe international entanglement consequences.Ditto that.
