'Lack of Political Judgment'

" he's in major drama the governor said earlier that he does not have the time to devote to gain a share of the GOP. Governors association until he resigned from that -- would have to ask what does he have the time. It needed to be the governor of South Carolina he said he wants to -- Jonathan -- just touched on he wants to go from town to town wants to explain himself. The south Carolinians and explain his position on that and for governor who was embattled. Going into this the question is going to come out we're still looking by the way for bill seven because this is a blockbuster. -- to the grand old party this is a major development. For the GOP's we said earlier Michael Steele said along with Tim Pawlenty and Bobby Jindal that that Mark Sanford was one of -- Dean bright stars. In the Republican Party and Bill -- this is a blow."

" Well somewhere right now but Mitt Romney smiling. Because. It's been a good month for him you've got be all these other potential rivals for the 32. Republican nomination. You know senator Anderson admitting to an affair -- you've got. Governors Sanford admitting to an affair. You know I cannot tell you some -- It has been demonstrated that an affair is survivable politically we've we've seen this and -- in several cases. But I think what you just saw in that press conference he took it to the next level he he. He exhibited behavior that I think his critics will seize on this kind of flaky. Any kind of rambling and leaving open all kinds yeah -- play -- talking about. He's talking about you know. We aid to think it did he mislead the staff for not mislead the staff rate cut he told the staff that he he's thinking about going to the Appalachian trail but that he apologized to the staff from this I mean there's there's something. Fishy about all that. You know governor just doesn't do this when this story first broke a couple days ago. I was you know one of the first people say look. I'm sure the press is just making a mountain out of a mole -- the guy you know is out of touch for a day or so they're trying to knock them out of the box for the 32 thing but he has damaged himself now. And I think he's the I'd be surprised to see him come back from us."

" Bill is was there was sort of resignation. In his voice he did not resign as we pointed out a couple of times here. As governor Clinton but it there was not a lot and made yet that's to come later I mean he's in no time at this for the first time. But not a lot of fight not a lot of you know way I'm going to continue to serve you as I always have a meeting here that."

" You're obviously right you know what you -- in a situation like this I was sit in my office with Michael Barone and we were sort of analyzing it you know his his his performance at one point I said if he's smart. He won't take questions and in the next breath I know he opened up a couple questions I sort of cringed. You know that the demeanor to taken something like this is contrite but very controlled. You go forward and Ariel even Eliot Spitzer. You don't give a lot of detail I don't wading into the Argentina."

" I didn't see that I did jump -- and at what point he sent to a reporter. Now I'm hitting -- below Mardi telling you ever watch it here I thought. No way or not you're gonna get -- nobody wants."

" He kept digging deeper and deeper into the whole. And didn't do that shows. Set aside the affair for the middle for the moment right that shows a lack of political judgment and hand even if it's this basis political judgment -- your own political hide where you're the scandal. That shows that you know there's a big question mark over whether he's ready to move up the food chain in politics with the that such as -- the White House all the computers about takeover -- we're going to regroup more breaking news concerning the governor of South Carolina coming up."
