Below are excerpts of e-mails, obtained by The State newspaper in December, between Gov. Mark Sanford's personal e-mail account and Maria, a woman in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The State has removed the woman's full name and other personal details, including her address, e-mail address and children's names.
McClatchy special correspondent Angeles Mase visited the 14-story apartment building in Buenos Aires Wednesday where the woman lives, according to the emails, which included her address. The woman at the address answered to the name in the emails and, at first, agreed to speak to a visitor, but she declined after the visitor identified herself as a reporter.
The doorman at the building, shown a photograph of Sanford, said he did not recognize him. According to the doorman, the woman has two sons, one a teenager of driving age and the other younger. The emails refer to the woman's two sons.

From Gov. Sanford, Date: Thursday, July 10, 2008, 12:24 a.m.
One, tomorrow leave at 5 a.m. for New York and meetings. Will think about you on its streets and wish I was going to be there later in the month when you are there. Tomorrow night back to Philadelphia for the start of the National Governor's Conference through the weekend. Back to Columbia for Tuesday and then on Wednesday, as I think I had told you, taking the family to China, Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand and then back through Hong Kong on world wind tour. Few days home then to Bahamas for 5 days on a friends boat for the last break of the summer. The following weekend have been asked to spend it out in Aspen, Colorado with McCain - which has kicked up the whole VP talk all over again in the press back home ...
Two, mutual feelings .... You have a particular grace and calm that I adore. You have a level of sophistication that so fitting with your beauty. I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificent gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curve of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the nights light - but hey, that would be going into sexual details ...
Three and finally, while all the things above are all too true - at the same time we are in a hopelessly - or as you put it impossible - or how about combine and simply say hopelessly impossible situation of love. How in the world this lightening strike snuck up on us I am still not quite sure. As I have said to you before I certainly had a special feeling about you from the first time we met, but these feelings were contained and I genuinely enjoyed our special friendship and the comparing of all too many personal notes ...
Lastly I also suspect I feel a little vulnerable because this is ground I have never certainly never covered before - so if you have pearls of wisdom on how we figure all this out please let me know... In the meantime please sleep soundly knowing that despite the best efforts of my head my heart cries out for you, your voice, your body, the touch of your lips, the touch ofyour finger tips and an even deeper connection to your soul.

From Maria, Wednesday, July 9, 2008 8:14 p.m.
As I told you I shouldn't have done this trip but I would have felt worst if I wouldn't have come because it was too over the date, he is a very nice guy, great heart ... but unfortunately I am not in love with him ... You are my love ... something hard to believe even for myself as it's also a kind of impossible love, not only because of distance but situation. Sometimes you don't choose things, they just happen... I can't redirect my feelings and I am very happy with mine towards you.

From Gov. Sanford, Tuesday, July 8, 1:42 a.m.
Got back an hour ago to civilization and am now in Columbia after what was for me a glorious break from reality down at the farm. No phones ringing and tangible evidence of a day's labors. Though I have started every day by 6 this morning woke at 4:30, I guess since my body knew it was the last day, and I went out and ran the excavator with lights until the sun came up. To me, and I suspect no one else on earth, there is something wonderful about listening to country music playing in the cab, air conditioner running, the hum of a huge diesel engine in the back ground, the tranquillity that comes with being in a virtual wilderness of trees and marsh, the day breaking and vibrant pink coming alive in the morning clouds - and getting to build something with each scoop of dirt.
He and his wife really should have said something about divorce or seperation before this came to what happened.

Now reporting this AH used tax payer funds 3 times to go to Argentina...
This government corruption is endless.
He also committed treason. The email in which he declares The South shall rise again!
_______________
give me a break! Did you forget the sarcasm tag? Many believe the South will rise again.
Call me crazy.
I think these emails show a man that is torn. Deeply torn.
In love with another woman when he really doesnt want to be.
I cant hate the man. Its not like he threw the other woman under the bus and said it was just sex.
There are millions of women in this world who would love to get emails like he wrote his lover. (Not me)

Call me crazy too. I agree. He’s not my governor and really liked him. He was one of the few that had the balls to stand up for us. It’s not my place to judge him.
Democrats are certainly sounding gleeful about this which is rather strange coming from the party that has more unadulterated perverts, cross-dressers, child pornographers, dykes, queens and just plain old fashioned degenerates per square inch than any prison.

LOL LOL!!! AMEN TO THAT
Their emotional iqs as well as their iqs equal probably a pea. I say get rid of Congress.
“These are all signs of a political cancer, and what is wrong with our system, as we continue to elect wealthy people, and insiders from politically connected backgrounds, who are in this for themselves.”
There’s something psychotic about these guys, not being in contact with reality. Most of ‘em seem to think their job description includes theft and domination of others, and like all crooks, they think they’ll never be caught.
George Washington was right political parties are no good.
Incredibly dumb—emails are forever.
It’s very simple. If she leaves him or he resigns, she is no longer the First Lady of SC.
Be well
I think the Dems have been using private detectives and looking into any rumors about the Republicans.
Embedded, with engraved systemic corruption, passed on from generation to generation of insiders. Neither of these insiders clubs ever get a dime from me. And they never will.
The emails, I would guess, are a hoax.
Oh, puleeeeeaze, give me a frikkin break...
