Sanford Admits More Trysts With His Mistress.

Ah, more of the truth comes out.

TPM:

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who originally admitted to meeting his Argentine mistress four times in the past year, told the AP that the number is more like seven.

Apparently there were five meetings in the last year, including "two multi-night stays" in New York. That's the first time he's admitted to trysts on U.S. soil.

There were also two more meetings before the. The two first met in 2001.

The AP interview was, unsurprisingly, "lengthy" and "emotional."

Late update: The AP has released more of the interview. Looks like Sanford attempted to end the relationship earlier this year (or at least, that's what he told his wife). After asking her several times, Sanford got permission from his wife to go to New York, meet his lover and end the affair in person. He took along a "trusted spiritual adviser" as a chaperone for an evening of church, dinner and no overnight stay.

Then, of course, he ended up in Argentina.

Also of note: One of those pre-2008 meetings was over coffee during the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York.

On a side note: Sanford said to AP that "Chapur is his soul mate, but he will 'try' to fall back in love with his wife, Jenny Sanford."

Nice try maybe he can fake it with Jenny and she might fall for it. But Mark knows his heart belongs to Maria forever and nothing will change that ever. Now we will never know the full story of how Mark loves Maria because it's beyond even what they understand.

Sanford's biggest errors? He said that he will 'try' to fall in love with his wife. Wrong answer! Yoda said" There is no try. You do it." Sanford can feed that crapola spin to the press. It just boils down to this: either you love or not love your wife. And by Sanford stating that Chapur is his soul mate, there is no marriage with Mrs. Sanford because Sanford's mistress owns his heart.

But, we shall we how this all plays out. Me thinks that if there is an investigation into the state finances in connection to Sanford's affair or misappropriation of state money, I look for Sanford to bow out finishing out his Governorship.
