Mark Sanford Approached Ex-Wife About Running Congressional Campaign

.............

But according to the profile in New York magazine, Mark Sanford still wanted his ex-wife to play a prominent role in his new campaign bid.

According to Jenny, she had already told Mark she would be taking a pass on the race the day before, at the funeral of a mutual friend. So when Mark came to visit her, he arrived with a proposal. “Since you’re not running, I want to know if you’ll run my campaign,” he said. “We could put the team back together.”

Jenny told him, in so many words, that wasn’t going to happen. Mark made one last appeal.

“I could pay you this time,” he said.

4. Jenny Sanford ran his campaigns and

was the brains behind him. He is at the mercy of complete fools. Jenny S. knew the ropes and was one tough lady. She kept those idiots at arm's length.
