Surely y'all remember back in 2009 when former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford was reported "missing" on a nature trail, only to instead be found in Argentina with his then-mistress. He later left office in disgrace. Apparently, these two folks are now engaged....and the moderate-conservative Republican seeks to make a political comeback. From liberal Slate Magazine: "Sanford is reportedly gearing up for a bid for the House seat currently held by Rep. Tim Scott, who was just appointed to the Senate by Gov. Nikki Haley. Sanford held the same seat from 1995 to 2001 and still has $124,000 in his congressional campaign account. If Sanford enters the race, he will likely do it soon: The primary to replace Scott would take place within 11 weeks of Scott’s resignation, set for early January. The Republican primary winner is virtually assured to win a special election in May."
