“They like to play whack-a-mole whenever any viable Rep candidate emerges. “

Knowing the MSM is what it is, you’d have to even further call into question what the hell Sanford was thinking by doing this.

"Sanford said he has taken adventure trips for years to unwind. He has visited such places as the coast of Turkey, the Greek Isles and South America. He was with friends sometimes and sometimes by himself."

This is really a tempest in a teapot. Don't governors have a right to take a vacation? Obvioiusly, if you read the story, at least one of his aides knew where he was and was in contact with him, which is why he cut his trip short.

Here in VA the GOP has filed a FOIA request to learn the whereabouts and travels of Tim Kaine, our governor who also happens to be the DNC Chairman. Adrian Fenty, the Mayor of DC, goes on his personal travels, which are not disclosed to the public.

Sanford has made some political enemies outside and within his party. I heard him speak at CPAC. He is a viable Presidential candidate in 2012. The Dems would like to destroy him in much the same way that they have attacked Palin. The MSM is part of that effort. If I were Sanford, I would just tell them to f**k off and ignore it.
