Now that we've picked up our jaw after watching South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford give his emotional tale of sex, lies, e-mails, and "Don't Cry for me Argentina," it's time to see where the chips are going to fall.  I do believe that a politician's private life should not be subject to the public spotlight, but the dereliction of his public duties is a concern.

After his seven-day ‘lust and found' trip, Gov. Sanford held a news conference to admit and apologize for an affair with a woman in Argentina.  "I've been unfaithful to my wife. I've let down a lot of people. That's the bottom line," Gov. Sanford said.

Prayers go out to Gov. Sanford's wife and family.  What they do with their marriage is their business.  The business of the state is another matter.

 A current poll on South Carolina's "The State" newspaper's website shows that 68% of readers want Gov. Sanford to leave office, 32% say no.
