How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?

"...please sleep soundly knowing that despite the best efforts of my head my heart cries out for you, your voice, your body, the touch of your lips, the touch of your finger tips and an even deeper connection to your soul." - S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford (R) to his Argentinian mistress, Maria.

I find it quite odd that in just the past week or so, two top 2012 contenders have ruined their respective careers. Is this just a hint of the fallout to come? The first, Senator Ensign, was a stalwart against marital indiscretions and has called upon many to resign - including his colleague Larry Craig. Sanford may not have been so outspoken, but he certainly shows what he believes through his record - a 90% lifetime score from the American Conservative Union. In the wise words of Shakespeare: "Thou doth protest too much." Who's next?
