Source: Evidence Exists Of Sanford Affair

[Are_grits_groceries]

S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford is allegedly having an extramarital-affair, evidence of which may have been obtained prior to his mysterious trip to Argentina by at least one South Carolina news outlet, sources tell FITS.

The woman with whom Sanford is allegedly involved was reportedly with the governor on his recent trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina - a trip the governor appears to have lied about to his wife, his staff and his security detail.

Sources tell FITS that The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper is in possession of materials which may confirm the governor’s affair, although a source at the paper declined to comment on that report.

The website Talking Points Memo is now reporting South Carolina sources as saying that “there is some evidence (Sanford) was not alone” on his trip.

Earlier today, FITS reportedly exclusively that the Sanfords were having marital issues.

Is this for real?

Is this the other shoe?? The reason I give this some credence is that Folks has a lot of sources in politics. It may not be true, but here we go.

3. He really should be impeached for abdicating his responsibility

However,that burden belongs to the folks of SC. All I can do is sit back and laugh that someone has a dumber governor than I do.

5. Here is the TPM story........... and more from FITS blog

Source: "There Is Some Evidence Was Not Alone"

Things are still murky on the Mark Sanford story. But it's looking increasingly likely that Sanford's trip to Argentina was about more than a scenic drive down the coast.

"There is some evidence he was not alone," a source in South Carolina politics told TPMmuckraker. "The other shoe's gonna drop. I believe there's a reason he wanted to drop his SLED detail."

According to the source, a second car was identified at the Columbia airport, next to the SUV Sanford is believed to have used. Two additional sources in South Carolina politics said the same thing.

Separately, Will Folks, a former spokesman for Sanford who now runs a South Carolina political blog, is reporting that, according to a source, the Sanfords have been having problems in their marriage and have "been in marital counseling for several weeks now."

We should have some more information on this soon. Sanford's office has called a 2pm press conference, and Politico's Mike Allen tweets that according to the South Carolina press, the "woman question will be asked directly and clinically (no parsing)."

.C. Gov. Mark Sanford and his wife, first lady Jenny Sanford, are having marital problems, sources tell FITS.

The couple have reportedly been in marital counseling for several weeks now, although it is unknown what the issues are between them or whether or not those issues had a hand in the governor’s mysterious six-day sojourn in Argentina - on Father’s Day weekend, no less.

This information would certainly explain the perceived coolness in Mrs. Sanford’s answers to reporters’ questions this week about her husband’s whereabouts.

It may also explain why she answered those questions in the first place.

“This story got legs when the First Lady started talking,” a source close to the Sanfords tells FITS. “When she said she didn’t know where he was - and wasn’t concerned, that’s when people’s ears perked up.”

Mrs. Sanford is currently at the couple’s Sullivans Island, S.C. home with the four Sanford boys.

The governor is back in Columbia as of today.

“It’s Jenny plus four minus Mark,” one S.C. politico joked to FITS, referencing the reality TV show “Jon & Kate Plus Eight,” whose two protagonists are divorcing after ten years of marriage.

8. So who's gonna be standing at his side?

The wife or the girlfriend, Carmen Miranda?

9. Head's up! Presser starting now.

WCBD in Charleston is covering it. According to them, Jenny Sanford is still at home on Sullivan's Island. Many reporters standing by at the Sanford home to talk with her (hopefully).

On edit: Presser moved to 2:30. No reason given.

... of course the price of a 'tell all' book by the other woman(if one exists) just went up--way up.
