Unless he shows his face in his home state before the sun goes down Wednesday, and looks sober, he’s finished not only as a Presidential prospect but as Governor as well, effective immediately. Even the Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, who appeared on the Rachel Maddow show on Tuesday night, did not have a clue to Sanford’s whereabouts, and looked extremely nervous.
Maddow: What happens if he doesn’t come back tomorrow?Bauer: (pauses) I don’t have an answer for that question.
Sanford’s cell phone was tracked to Atlanta and one news report says a “federal agent” saw him there, at the airport. A “governor’s” SUV was found at the Columbia, SC airport in it with a sleeping bag in it and sunscreen. His wife said on Tuesday:
“I am being a mom today,†she told CNN Tuesday. “I have not heard from my husband. I am taking care of my children.â€
There are many signs something is wrong; for example why was his cell phone tracked nearly 3 days ago to locate him? His own GOP Senator will not vouch for him. Something substantial is up here.
UPDATE: Sanford was apparently in Argentina for six days. Press conference at 2PM EDT. Press smells political blood in the water and are apparently going to ask him directly about female traveling companions.
