#2 So are there any conservative Republicans of national stature which *aren't* currently schtupping somebody on the side?

I need to get one of those Derbyshire "We Are Doomed" t-shirts.

#4 If he was with Andrea Rincon, I'll have to give him a pass.

#5 More and more of this seems to be 'popping' up. I suspect the Grand Kennedy Karma(GKK) is engulfing the larger political community as its core member, who with great human effort for decades of gravitationally keeping it in place - his place, is now seriously losing steam in tying down the beast. Pass the popcorn.

#8 Why isn't he using the "it depends on the definition of is is" defense? It worked the last time someone used it.

#9 This must be somekinda beauty (picture please)for sanford to throw away a political career, a family, and the american people. This will give Obama cover for the cap and trade, medicare, and all the other programs that are being rammed down her/our throuts. Sanford you are a sorry SOB.

#12 Idiot.

It's just amazing how many politicians of substantial stature -- governor, senator, big-city mayor, president -- can't keep their pants on.

His career is over. He should resign. That will give him the opportunity to focus on his marriage, assuming his wife still wants him. He can pick up a private sector job somewhere. But get out of the way and let someone else do the job.

#13 Honey trap?

No, I don't think so...at least not to the degree you're thinking. While I don't think the DNC and its MSM sockpuppets engaged the Argentinean cutie to assist in driving Sanford's political future onto the rocks (he's obviously done a superlative job of that himself), I have no doubt whatsoever that whenever any prominent Republican politician gains public visibility and starts becoming the subject of 2012 speculation, he or she immediately becomes the subject of a dedicated "war room" squad of Dem operatives and MSM journoturds looking for anything that can be used to destroy their political viability. If they can't do it via scandal as with Sanford, they'll try to do it with nonstop ridicule, as with Sarah Palin.

#14 He is an idiot. Typical "elite" part of the Demopublican Party that has completely lost touch with reality.
