Cheating SC gov visits with jilted wife

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Gov. Mark Sanford is with his family following the startling confession that he has been having a yearlong extramarital affair with a woman from Argentina.

Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer said Thursday the governor was with his family at their beach home on Sullivans Island. First lady Jenny Sanford and the couple's four sons have been staying at the house.

The first lady was not with the governor when he admitted at a news conference Wednesday that he had been in Argentina during his unexplained absence from the state. Both have said they plan to try to reconcile.

Sawyer says Sanford has spent the last two days touching base with other elected officials and has personally apologized to his staff.
