It seems there are many angles relevant to issues important to this site, that warrant a bit of coverage and discussion (good or bad).

This famous cnn interview showing Sanford looking like a deer in headlights over a subject that is supposed to be his wheelhouse was conducted in early July 2008. You have to wonder if Sanford was preoccupied thinking about the slim chance that CNN may pull a quick one and ask about Maria.

“It seems Mark Sanford has left a tell tale pattern as to when he was planning on trysting with his Argentinian prune. If you look at his travel records, he would book on a certain date only to change either the arrival or departure date later on. The changes were indicative that he was meeting Chapur in there sex nest of choice , New York City or the Hamptons.
In the public released records, there are also a couple of personal trips that Sanford made where he changed his itinerary to include last minute changes of cities where he was originally planned to arrive. For instance there is a 2008 trip where he brought a round trip tix from Charlotte to Chicago and back only to change the return trip to Newark. Was he meeting Chapur again then?
Dept of Homeland Security needs to check Maria Chapur’s US travel records. I have the feeling that there have been other trysts with Sanford beyond what the 5 that he admitted.”
