Where In The World Is South Carolina’s Governor?

The World

South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has stumped his constituents, the media, and even his wife. He disappeared for five days with no contact with his family, staff, or state leaders. While his staff claimed he was hiking the Appalachian Trail, a news report this morning says he was actually vacationing in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Bad geography? Or something else? Yvonne Wenger, a reporter for the South Carolina Post and Courier, joins The Takeaway with more of the story.
