Look at the articles that have been coming out. How many start with “sources said?” Sanford has enemies in the SC Republican Party and the state government, not least his own lieutenant governor and powerful Republican members of both houses of the General Assembly. They’ve been carefully fanning the flames of this story in the media ever since Monday.
Look, if he told his staff to lie about where he went and the “hiking the AT” story comes out to be a lie he asked his staff to tell, then yeah, he’s toast for 2012 and deservedly so. But I’m not going to push the panic button until then.

His wife is a source. Cannot believe people are still defending a Governor for being gone with people not knowing where he was and the story changing.
I liked Sanford but this is unreal. He left the door open a mile for speculation when his wife did not know where he was and now his story is different from his office.
