Perhaps i am just more skeptical than you? As i said, i haven’t written him off, but this stunt didn’t do much to enhance his chances IMO. is it just those of us with children who find it particularly egregious that he was away from his kids on Father’s day? i see some deriding that as a silly concern, but it is the first thing that occurred to me when i heard he was gone. if his kids were adults it would matter less, but that isn’t the case here. these things DO matter to voters, and if one is to be pragmatic, one has to look at how things will be PERCEIVED regardless of one’s intentions. again, lack of political savvy on his part to not realize how it would be perceived, which is in itself a concern for a politician seeking higher ofc.
You have hit the real problem. Not being in contact with his family and especially his children on Father’s Day. They had no way to contact the man. Not to check in on Father’s Day is WRONG any way you slice. Sanford is the one responsible for the media interest and the new one that he was on a cruise? Give me a break!
Father's Day is a manufactured, greeting-card retailer created holiday.

Fathers day, mothers day and valentines day must be extremely important around your house. I see those days as very important for the greeting card industry so I am pretty skeptical too.
