Do you really think he couldn’t handle the pressure of being governor? He was one of the only ones who stood up against the TARP money, and even though he lost, he never sounded like he was distraught or anything like that.
Something about this is fishy. Having an affair is one thing, but was he really so stupid as to believe that no one would notice he was in Argentina for a week? Are we really to believe that Gov. Sanford was this stupid? Considering I can’t remember him being gone for this length of time in the past, something about this is just off.
The scene in “The Firm” springs to mind. It’s been so long since I’ve read the book, I don’t remember the character names, but Tom Cruise is set up to be seduced by a woman so that his bosses have something on him. Yeah, maybe I’ve watched too many movies, but the fact that it would take a level of stupidity far beyond what Gov. Sanford has shown in the past to do something like this makes me wonder if there’s more to this.
I agree. I posted in some other thread that this visit was likely more than just romantic. The timing is suspicious, as they say.
As far as pressure goes, I was speculating. I don't know. Maybe some 'new' pressures have come up.
“...something about this is just off.”
Something very strange indeed. So I’m not buying just yet.
He was in a hard fought battle to refuse the TARP money. Now this?
