Sharp-witted. Direct. In control. Loyal.
Jenny Sanford, here with her husband, was a Wall Street executive before she married Mark Sanford.
[...]
Jenny Sanford grew up in Winnetka, Illinois, and earned a degree in finance from Georgetown University. She met Mark Sanford when they worked for investment firms in New York, she at Lazard Freres and he at Goldman Sachs. The two married and moved to his native South Carolina, and she managed his campaign for Congress in 1994.
"Mark started out with five other opponents, and he didn't really have a shot. That was the opinion of most people," Mosteller said. "But she and Mark worked together and turned that thing around so that candidate three, four and five ended up throwing their support behind him, and he won."
The two are equals intellectually, according to people who know them.
She took a $70,000 deficit from the operations of the governor's mansion and put its finances into the black.
"I pretty much am in his office in the mornings most days, and I do pretty much anything he wants me to do for him. I...make sure everybody in the office is on pace with his agenda," Jenny Sanford told Charleston's Post and Courier in June 2005.
The governor told the newspaper that his wife is "particularly good with financial analysis [and] working with numbers."
She took up health as a key issue in her role as first lady, advocating nutrition, exercise and cancer prevention, serving on major boards and speaking at various functions to raise funds for disease research. advertisement
"This is a classy woman who lacks pretension," Mosteller said.

Sanford (the other Sanford) for governor?...Prez? One day, maybe? (heckuva lot better than Hillary Clinton).
Hey, we could do (and we have done) a lot worse. We need more quality people like this running for office, instead of the defectives, narcissists, socialists and RINOs we keep nominating and electing from both parties.
Statement she **hand-delivered** to reporters:

Yes but in terms of looks Maria > Jenny.
Sanford = Goldman Sachs. Another reason not to vote for him.
Get this: she hails from Illinois.
Palin/Sanford (the other Sanford) ‘12 (or ‘16)
Sorry, I do not buy into this notion she should be considered for a political office. She is a great gal in what she wrote and her accomplishments, but that does not qualify her.
Those who float Republican trial baloons are beyond hope. They are amoral ignoramuses.
When I read her statement yesterday, I had a sneaky feeling a bit of politics were thrown in for good measure. I suspect we will see her pop up in certain circles soon...

This is a ridiculous idea...lol.
We already have plenty of gals if we want to run a woman. Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann and Liz Cheney come to mind.
OK, I'm not impressed.
Anybody who's a HUSBAND, and a GOVERNOR, and talks about PRESIDENT, who flies to fricking ARGENTINA for days and thinks that NOBODY WILL FIND OUT is not too smart, in my book.
Maybe Sanford should resign, and give his wife a chance to run for governor.
Dump Mark, appoint Jenny!! (And SC can declare war on Argentina)
Jenny is the lady, Maria is the tramp.
They’re boosting this lady’s credentials, to make Mark look even worse through comparison. It’s working too.
Jenny Sanford used to (don’t know if she still does) consider Hillary Clinton one of her best friends.
If only she’d agreed to the fur handcuffs...
Why, are they better than a golden parachute?;)
Bingo. Puts him in the Geitner/Corzine league.
“The governor told the newspaper that his wife is “particularly good with financial analysis [and] working with numbers.”
Uh, guess 1+1+1 don’t really add up.
Jenny is a classy Lady. I feel so badly for her that she has to go through this. There is no way to describe the kind of pain and hurt such things cause. The media should be ashamed for publishing those emails. Have they ever shown such glee before in the face of such things? What Mark did was wrong but there is an awful lot of insult to injury going on now.
