This is from the Guardian. It is somewhat embarrassing to realize the USA South succumbs to their own preference for infidelity.

...Sanford's political career was derailed four years ago when he disappeared from the state and later admitted to an extramarital affair with an Argentinian woman – they are now engaged....
Mark Sanford not only kept is paramour out of the election process he also kept his four children, four sons, out of the view of the electorate. He abandoned four sons to chase the tail of an Argentine woman no doubt interested in having the USA and/or South Carolina rescue the bankrupt national government.
Basically, Sanford was a fool for a great body and a pretty face. But, hey, every South Carolina man 'with the wisdom of the ages' understands that part of life.
Mr. Bostic and his wife appeared in commercials together with their son. It was a method of letting South Carolinians know they stood for strong Christian values, too. Did that matter? No.
South Carolina women know they are cheated on and they know they always forgive. South Carolina men defend their 'sexual activities' as 'the natural state of things' like their gun rights.
The election of Mark Sanford to the Republican candidacy to a national office is not a surprise, it is a defense of the southern male ego imposed on the southern female ego. So much for The Defense of Marriage Act. Every symbol of decency matters to the South, but, symbolism is all they have after all.
