Gov. Sanford in Argentina, not Hiking the Appalacian Trail
One day after Gov. Mark Sanford's (R-S.C.) staff told a scrum of reporters that the somewhat-missing governor had gone hiking on the Appalachian trail to clear his head, a reporter for The State newspaper intercepted the governor at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, where Sanford was returning from a seven-day trip to Argentina.
Sanford told the reporter, Gina Smith, that he had considered hiking the trail, "But I said 'no' I wanted to do something exotic." Sanford also said he had traveled alone, and in addition to spending time in the capital city of Buenos Aires, he drove along the Argentinian coast.
When asked why his staff told reporters that he was hiking the Appalachian Trail, he said, "I don't know." Until this week, neither Sanford's wife nor his staff had heard from him since he left South Carolina last Thursday.
Caps, we ask you, is Sanford's tango in Argentina the end of his presidential possibilities or much ado about nada?
