→Bizarre Behavior: minor clarification (Haley Barbour taking over RGA duties)
Sanford admitted June 24, 2009, to having an extra-marital affair and covering up a secret trip to visit his mistress in [[Argentina]]. He made the admission at a press conference meant to clear up a mysterious week-long absence where his staff initially explained by saying the Governor was hiking the Appalachian Trail.

"I've let down a lot of people. That's the bottom line," Sanford said. "I've been unfaithful to my wife." He said he is resigning as chairman of the [[Republican Governors Association]]. The RGA announced shortly afterward that [[Mississippi]] Gov. [[Haley Barbour]] would assume Sanford's duties.
