http://themoderatevoice.com/37560/the-sanfords-disparity-in-marital-smarts/ An Internet hub with domestic and international news, analysis, original reporting, and popular features from the left, center, indies, centrists, moderates, and right Wed, 15 Feb 2012 10:08:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 http://themoderatevoice.com/37560/the-sanfords-disparity-in-marital-smarts/comment-page-1/#comment-191775 degroot123 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:12:10 +0000 http://themoderatevoice.com/?p=37560#comment-191775 A thoughtful insight that has added a question to my mind. While Mark has given lots of lip service to Jenny, his Christian beliefs, and his own lack of character, he has avoided excuses. While it is easy to say, "...there is no excuse...", what went on behind the closed doors of the Sanford's house could have played a role in his "falling prey to temptation". The well controlled Jenny who seemed to be Mark's best asset could also be a woman who lacks the "soft and fuzzy" and one who is not good at snuggling. Powerhouse that he was, I suspect that Mark like most of us with the "Y" curse, needed some cuddle time occasionally. Again, not an excuse but maybe a part of the problem if your perspective uses a root cause analysis. A thoughtful insight that has added a question to my mind.

We don't have a full laundry list of women he met on the side, but the one in South American seems like a fairly powerful woman in her own right.
