All your information comes from the media, which means you don’t know the facts. Unless you’ve spoken to his staff, his wife, his kids, you don’t know what happened. Period.
Well, Sanford said he drove up the coast. I don't buy that for a second-their coast isn't like ours. There isn't much of a road there- to get to the resorts etc.. you have to take ferrys and boats. It's winter down there right now- highs in th 50’s. Not vacation weather. When he returns he wants some “alone time” with him family and then calls a presser.
Something is up. I don't know what. That needs to be discovered. But something is up. There have been way to many false stories and reports he just needs to get out in front of them and tell the truth. I don't want to condemn an innocent man- but I don't want to support a cheater or liar either.
This information comes from Sanford’s press secretary and is a quote:
Then, at 10:01 p.m. Monday, Sawyer e-mailed reporters an update: “The governor is hiking along the Appalachian Trail. I apologize for taking so long to send this update, and was waiting to see if a more definitive idea of what part of the Trail he was on before we did so.”

You do realize that the media talks to staff members etc. as well?
The media isn’t perfect, but in something like this, it is up to the governor’s office to correct any errors. Everything about where he was and what he supposedly doing came from them directly.
