Mark Sanford goes missing

Going missing from both your security detail and your wife?  Sounds presidential.

I didn't even consider the fact that he might be having an affair when I first heard about it. Am I stupid sometimes or what. That sounds very likely. It seems at least he hasn't been kidnapped or something, thank God.

He might just have went to the countryside to work on his book as being suggested, but the more I think about it the more likely an affair seems. I hope not though.


 

I think while Sanford may be boneheaded, he might be a little better at conducting an affair.

It's almost like he wanted to be caught.

Yeah, that's the explanation that makes the most sense.

Sanford, fed up with politics we can imagine, was being called on by Paulites to run a primary he wouldn't win to earn the chance at a general election he wouldn't win so he could fight legislative battles he wouldn't win.  Must have sounded fun.  He sees Ensign get crossed off the 2012 list by admitting an affair, then immediately goes on a trip that has no plausible outcome other than an Ensign-like admission and the end of 2012 talk about him.

Either this...or he is a complete idiot.

I think the third option is most likely: he had an emotional breakdown
