UPDATE: The governors office issued a statement Monday afternoon: "Gov. Sanford is taking some time away from the office this week to recharge after the stimulus battle and the legislative session, and to work on a couple of projects that have fallen by the wayside. We are not going to discuss the specifics of his travel arrangements or his security arrangements."
The whereabouts of Gov. Mark Sanford have been unknown to state officials since Thursday, and some state leaders are questioning who is in charge of the executive office.
Neither the governors office nor the State Law Enforcement Division has been able to reach Sanford, who left the mansion in a black SLED Suburban SUV, said Sen. Jake Knotts and three others familiar with the situation who declined to be identified.
Sanfords last known whereabouts were near Atlanta, where a mobile telephone tower picked up a signal from his phone, authorities said.
One official familiar with the situation said there is no indication that foul play is involved.
. . . . .
First lady Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press her husband has been gone for several days and she doesn't know where. She said she was not concerned. Jenny Sanford said the governor said he needed time away from their children to write something.

Chicago thugs took him for a ride for rejecting government money for his state.

Cosmetic surgery? That was my first thought, too. So, if he's gone off to visit our troops overseas I will feel like a jerk.

According to Jake Tripper on Twitter: State newspaper (SC) reporting that Lt. Gov told that Gov Sanford has been reached and is fine and that Sanfords office knows where he is

Can’t imagine him making a major personal decision,resignation, divorce etc without his wife knowing and being close by.....
OTOH if he doing research or writing something political only a few educated advisors would know where he was and be with him.....So who else is missing? Legislator, lawyer?

“...Gov told that Gov Sanford has been reached and is fine and that Sanfords office knows where he is”
Well, shouldn’t his employers, the people of SC, be let in on the secret?

It seems that every time we think we may have a keeper, they do something self destructive.
I hope things are good.

"First lady Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press her husband has been gone for several days and she doesn't know where. She said she was not concerned. Jenny Sanford said the governor said he needed time away from their children to write something." I'm glad that there has been contact with him and that he is fine. However, going away in this manner over the Father's Day weekend was "less than wise", especially with his wife saying that she doesn't know where he is , she's not concerned, and that he told her he needed time away from their children. Regardless of the reason for being away...choosing to get away from the children on Father's Day weekend?!?
"Republican family values" in question again by the paragons of virtue on the Left.
