Jake Tapper is now tweeting that South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has called in after going missing for 4 days. His staff's story about the A. Trail is pretty bizarre/shaky. Seems that Sanford drove a state car to the Atlanta airport, but that doesn't square with the 'hiking' story. Sanford clearly was not telling anyone what he was up to, including his wife.
Regardless: Now the real investigation should begin: Why are all the 2012 GOP presidential hopefuls running into the ditch? Who's behind it all?
