Sanford Still Not Hiking

The News & Observer Publishing Company based in the South somewhere (again, these web sites news organizations have seem often to hide basic information about themselves) has a piece by Daryl Lease, an editorial writer for The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, VA, in which his lead reads:

I do hope our dear friends in South Carolina have FEMA on speed dial. The 2012 presidential campaign, now roughly 1,175 days old, is upon them. No less a personage than former Gov. Mark Sanford, who has returned from not walking on the Appalachian Trail, is worried about the wreckage that will be left behind by Saturday's Republican primary.

Ah, well, that phrase probably will always pop up whenever Sanford is mentioned. The article is titled "In South Carolina, politics is a calling". It's dated 19 January 2012.
