Did South Carolina's Republican gubernatorial candidate have an affair, or is this a smear campaign?
Jenny Sanford's top choice to replace her cheating husband in South Carolina, Nikki Haley, has just been accused of having an affair of her own. Could Gov.

Sanford, Will Folks, announced today on his blog, FITSNews, that he had a sexual relationship with Nikki several years ago...
Governor Mark Sanford's wronged ex goes on a trash-talking media blitz to promote her new book.
Jenny Sanford is talking to everyone in the hopes of selling a bazillion copies of her new book, "Staying True"...One interviewer who didn't just lob softballs at Jenny was GMA's new co-host George Stephanopoulos, who asked her if, after the scandal broke, she "called legislators to save her husband's job."

If more political couples were getting it on regularly, would the country be a better place?
This July 4th, perhaps the focus for Mr. and Mrs. Politician should be more on the fireworks happening between their sheets (or lack thereof) rather than the one’s overlooking the Washington Monument. That’s right, this holiday, if you love your country then please shag your partner.
The governor says his mistress is his soul mate, but he'll fall in love with his wife again.
It's been a rough week or so for South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford. Not only has his affair with Argentina native Maria Belen Shapur come out, but since this revelation many of the state's lawmakers are calling on Sanford to step down. And while the governor insists that he is ready to "fall back in love" with his wife, Jenny, he has also sought to take control of the situation. And by control, we mean blow up any credibility he had left.
In an inteview with The Associated Press, Sanford said he has flirtations with other women, but "didn't cross the sex line." He also called Belen Shapur his "soul mate," but said he was committed to his wife.
