South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is holding a news conference today at 2 p.m. ET at his office in Columbia.
The two-term Republican has been in the news and the tabloids in the past week over his unknown whereabouts. He surfaced this morning at an Atlanta airport, telling a reporter that he had spent the past week unwinding in Argentina — and not, as his staff had said, hiking along the Appalachian Trail.
Should be fun.
