Disgraced Former SC Gov. Mark Sanford Plans Run for Congress

 

Disgraced former Republican South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford is planning to run for Congress for the  seat he held almost a decade ago. As reported at the Politico, Sanford plans to run for Tim Scott’s Congressional seat who was recently picked by Gov. Nikki Haley to replace the retiring Senator Jim DeMint. Seriously? Do you really think that the people are willing to forgive and forget your fall from grace after having  admitted to an affair with a woman from Argentina in 2009? Sanford may actually have to face his ex-wife in the primary. This guy just needs to get on with his life and stay away from politics.

Sanford is planning to launch a bid for the seat that GOP Rep. Tim Scott is vacating to fill Jim DeMint’s Senate seat. Sanford held the seat, which encompasses the Charleston and Hilton Head areas, between 1995 and 2001 before becoming governor.

A campaign would mark something of a comeback bid for Sanford, whose political ambitions dimmed after it was revealed that he had engaged in an extramarital affair.

Sanford could face competition, however. Among the potential candidates are state House Majority Whip Jimmy Merrill, state Rep. Chip Limehouse and state Sens. Larry Grooms and Chip Campsen. Jenny Sanford, Mark Sanford.

      We are pretty conservative here in SC. I personally don’t think he stands a chance. I hope I never have to hear him speak of his ‘soul-mate’ again.
      My vote would go to Jenny!

      Sanford versus Sanford? Talk of contest between former SC governor, first lady for House seat

      The Sanfords officially divorced in 2010 after the former governor admitted to having an affair with an Argentine woman to whom he is now engaged.

      The former governor famously disappeared for six days in June 2009 after telling staff he would be hiking on the Appalachian Trail. After being confronted by a reporter at an Atlanta airport upon his return from Argentina, Sanford admitted to the affair.

      He also admitted to having “crossed the lines” with a “handful” of other women during his 20 years of marriage. ….

      Good Choice Rob!!

      Mark Sanford is a known liar and cheat. He lacks intergrity on so many levels.
