Yeah, the whole "I'm trying to fall in love with my wife again" thing really is pathetic. So sure that's going to work out. My wife would say "If you have to try, thanks but no thanks. Adios, prick."

As for the state of South Carolina, I don't understand why they haven't already booted him out. Seriously, the guy couldn't control himself and went AWOL for how many days? He is clearly not in command of his faculties and has no business on the bridge. Time for a leave of absence, or something.

There's a saying in politics - "Never try to commit homicide on someone who's committing suicide."

Occasionally, I have a twinge of sympathy for the human side of Sanford, but he clearly should resign or be relieved of duty. However, members of his own party are already pressing him to do that, knowing that if he stays, they will all be weakened.

I believe those efforts are best left to them, lest those who oppose him on political grounds are perceived as mean-spirited, when there is no need for them to make public statements.
