From NBC's Mark Murray
Per a statement, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford admits that he visited his mistress during a trade mission last year. He says he's reimbursing the state for the full cost of the Argentina leg of the trip.
Here's the statement from Sanford:
As noted by the Department of Commerce, I attended a trade mission with the Department of Commerce last June. As the agenda notes, the mission was spent meeting with government and private business officials in both Brazil and Argentina. This trip was handled very professionally by the Department of Commerce, and I'm proud of their work there.
However, while the purpose of this trip was an entirely professional and appropriate business development trip, I made a mistake while I was there in meeting with the woman who I was unfaithful to my wife with. That has raised some very legitimate concerns and questions, and as such I am going to reimburse the state for the full cost of the Argentina leg of this trip.

I am not a South Carolinian, so I will let her citizens demand what they will, BUT if I were a South Carolinian, I would be demanding his resignation. What a douchebag and bad excuse for a man.

Re: SANFORD WILL REIMBURSE STATE FOR TRIP
How many trips has he not reimbursed the state for?
Cell phone conversation:
Sandford: Hello? Can you hear me..... I'm liking the Argentinian tail!
Staffer: Hello? I can't hear you very well.....hiking the Appalachian Trail?

You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

Many of us are. He has to deal with his personal life right now and there isn't room for the politics of the state. He must stand down.ASUMountaineer wrote:I am not a South Carolinian, so I will let her citizens demand what they will, BUT if I were a South Carolinian, I would be demanding his resignation.

That shiny object sticking out of Sanford right now is a fork - he's done. 
Personally, even though I like his fiscal stance, I think he should resign. If you're gonna talk the talk, then he has to do the right thing.

Sanford is the Republican version of Villaraigosa.
