Yes, I think that's the only legal question here. He does represent yet another case of someone who ran as a Christian conservative who has not lived up to the values he espoused....sigh....we have too many of those. But as dwr said, it's up to the voters to decide how much of a factor that will be in their decisions about him.

What about Sanford? I am most bothered by his leaving the state for his tryst in Argentina without leaving a way of getting in touch with him, and not even telling his Lt. Gov. where he was going - that dereliction of duty is appalling. If his wife wants to forgive his affair and work on their marriage, that's a separate question to me. But I was surprised he got away with just a censure from the S.C. legislature, considering how unprofessional he was.
Heck, I couldn't get away with that. I have to have another pastor covering any emergencies, if I'm going to be unavailable for a period of time, and usually the congregation knows where I am and they have my cell phone number. And this governor's got a lot more responsibility........

Yeah, Sanford didn't do anything illegal by jetting off to meet a mistress...he's not the first, I'm sure he won't be the last...he was just stupid and very irresponsible about it. For taking off and not letting people know where he was going to be...that deserves official censure. In terms of how the affair should affect his standing as governor...let the voters decide that when he's up for election next.

I'd be much more concerned, if I was a voter, about the statements that he's made around the affair, than the actual affair itself (excluding the fact that he disappeared for a couple of days)...he's coming across as so bizarre, it's laughable.
