(Mcclatchy). South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford aknowledged Wednesday that he was carrying on an affiar with a woman in Argentina when he disappeared from his office last week, only to resurface this morning.
Sanford said he would resign as chairman of the Republican Governors Association and asked for forgiveness from his wife and four sons.
At several points in his news conference, Sanford appeared to be on the verge of tears. He cited his religious beliefs several times and begged forgiveness from friends and associates.
He left it unclear whether he and his wife would separate. "I don't know how you want to define that. I'm here and she's there," he said, referring to his vacation home on Sullivan's Island. "I guess in a formal sense we are not."
"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."

Man, this is sad. I may be a staunch Romney fan but this goes so far beyond politics. Hopefully he can make things right with his family and get back on the right track.
I do not think gov. Sanford is the top 4 GOP as mentioned on Tv today. I admire Mitt Romney for everything that he stands for and for being a family man. It's grossly unfair the Media doesnt give him the coverage that he deserves instead of dwelling on Colin Powell who has never been a true Republican. The nation is going bankrupted and we need someone who has exceptional business background.
why doesnt the Media ever mention Harry Reid Mormonism???Mitt Romney 2012!!!!
