Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford announced Sunday that he is running for president as a Republican, becoming the latest to challenge President Trump in the GOP primaries. Sanford said the Republican Party is facing an identity crisis, and he wants the GOP to take a look at itself and do some soul searching. “I think we have to have a conversation about what it means to be a Republican,” Sanford told “Fox News Sunday,” claiming the party “has lost our way.” Sanford specifically made reference to the debt, deficit and government spending. Other conservatives expressed concern about these issues...

Jenny Sanford, ex-wife of disgraced former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, steps into the GOP presidential primary fray with an op-ed Thursday praising Herman Cain. Ms. Sanford says she hopes Mr. Cain will keep fighting for his far-reaching tax overhaul plan even as he fends off what she calls personal allegations enflamed by the media. “I know this story well,” she writes in The (Columbia) State newspaper. “A ‘fresh face’ appears on the political scene and puts forth new proposals that challenge the status quo and then is attacked viciously on his proposals and then his character.” That sounds like...

COLUMBIA, S.C. – A rock star sisterhood of sorts is forming around a back-of-the-pack GOP candidate in the race to replace disgraced South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford. State Rep. Nikki Haley is getting an in-person endorsement from Sarah Palin on Friday and support from Sanford's hugely popular ex-wife, Jenny. The former first lady who moved out of the governor's mansion with the help of her girlfriends last summer now is doing all she can to help Haley move in. "What better way than to start the day with Jenny Sanford and end it with Sarah Palin," Haley said at an...

Sanford’s Wife Files for Divorce ROBBIE BROWN December 11, 2009 Jenny Sanford on Friday filed for divorce from her husband, Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina, who confessed in June to an affair with a woman in Argentina. “As so many of us know, the dissolution of any marriage is a sad and painful process,” Ms. Sanford said in a statement. “Because Mark and I are public figures, we have naturally had less privacy with which to deal with our difficulties than do other couples. Indeed, I know it will soon become known, so I choose to release this brief...

"Mark has stated that his intent and determination...

Like most Americans, I have heard enough from the adulterers. John Ensign’s press conference was blissfully short. Mark Sanford’s is interminable. Every day brings a cringe-inducing new update. The bottom line is the same: men who should know better, out of an inflated sense of ego, blow up their careers and their families for transitory pleasures. We can’t learn much from them. But their spouses and the reaction to their spouses tell us something about where we are and where we are heading in the culture wars. Jenny Sanford is the new feminist icon. Defiant, brave, principled, and funny. When...

While many on the left are reveling in the downfall of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford after he disclosed his affair with a woman in Argentina, there's a sympathetic figure being overlooked that might have the necessary background to fill the void left by the governor should he resign. On CNBC's June 30 "The Kudlow Report," Wall Street Journal senior economics writer Steve Moore explained his close relationship with the Sanfords and raised a new political possibility. "This is such a tough thing for me Larry, because as you know Mark Sanford has been a long-time friend of mine," Moore...

Integrity: In a society that so often feeds on others' adversity, Jenny Sanford has reminded us that hard times bring out the best in good people. No politician's wife has ever shown more grace.South Carolina's first lady sacrificed her privacy and much of her time for the sake of her husband's political career. In return, she discovered that her husband, conservative Republican Gov. Mark Sanford, was having ongoing trysts with his Argentine mistress. The details are the sort of thing that keep a gawking public coming back for more — steamy e-mails, a cover story that he was hiking incommunicado...

...there are a few wronged political wives who get my respect, as well. And I'm beginning to think Jenny Sanford is one of them. On second read, her statement is kind of perfect. It's loving. It's forgiving. It is pious. And she really kicks some butt, if you're willing to read between the lines. She reclaimed the high ground: she "put forth every possible effort to be the best wife during almost 20 years of marriage" (i.e., she did nothing to deserve this). She believes in the sanctity of marriage (he's a cheating bastard). She is ready to forgive completely...

What a relief to finally see a political wife throw her cheating husband out of the house instead of standing dutifully (and pathetically) at his side during the obligatory confessional press conference. It's about time someone had the self-respect--and, yes, balls--to say the hell with this humiliating tradition. Jenny Sanford: "I would like to start by saying I love my husband and I believe I have put forth every effort possible to be the best wife I can be during our almost twenty years of marriage. As well, for the last fifteen years my husband has been fully engaged in...
