Galloway: ‘Take a hike’ doesn’t mean what it did yesterday. Then again, maybe it does. + So who knew the Appalachian Trail stretched that far south?

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford takes the oath of office for a second term with his wife, Jenny, and four sons, standing by, on Jan. 10, 2007.

From The Wall Street Journal:

Mr. Sanford said he was immediately stepping down as chairman of the Republican Governors Association to concentrate on repairing his relationships with his wife, four sons and constituents. Minutes later, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a former party chairman, was named the new head of the organization.

Katon Dawson, former South Carolina GOP chairman, said the governor's disappearance and accompanying explanations for it were "the damnedest thing I'd ever seen" and added to the trouble facing the Republican Party.
