Well, no question. Sanford is a jerk. He blew off his wife, his family, his political ambitions, his obligation to the voters, and his duty to the citizens of his state—for what?
And now, he’s got nothing. His just reward.
Yes these left-wing media perverts are getting a good laugh out of this. Hypocrites. Is Barney Frank more admirable than Sanford? Teddy Kennedy?
But the sooner he disappears off the public stage, the better.
Too bad. He could have been a contender, and now he’s zilch.
But the sooner he disappears off the public stage, the better.
I don’t think Sanford’s career is necessarily over. His wife is willing to forgive him, I think the voters might too. After all, Vitter is still in office, Larry Craig didn’t resign his seat, and Newt Gingrich still has some reputation among Republicans.
Sanford might be a contender again some day. Probably not in 2012, but perhaps in 2016 if the Repub candidate doesn’t win next election.
