Here's more from the Sanford's steamy pen:

"There are but 50 governors in my country and outside of the top spot, this is as high as you can go in the area I have invested the last 15 years of my life," he wrote in e-mails obtained by The State newspaper. "- my getting here came as no small measure because I had that foundation of love and support so critical to getting up in the morning and feeling you could give and risk because you already had a full tank of love in the emotional bank account."

He also refers to their first meeting "in a wind swept somewhat open air dance spot in Punta del Este," in Argentina.

A wind swept somewhere??? A wind-swept-somewhere??? Oh Gawd. The needle is redlining on the Mickey Puke-O-Meter. This guy was being considered for VP? The GOP is now going to have to dig deeper in the barrel and this guy was being considered as a top pick? Holy smokes! What do the "also rans" look like? Who's picking these guys? Jackie Collins? Judith Kranz? Nora Roberts?

"A wind swept somewhere"! Feckin hell. If I had written something that bad and it was made public I'd shoot myself. Having an affair is one thing, but there is no excuse for "a wind swept somewhere".

Do we even want to discuss having a full tank of love in one's emotional bank account? Mixing metaphors is a forgivable sin - up to a point, but "a full tank of love"? What's next?

"I'm just a love machine and I don't want nobody but you"? Or "I'm riding down the freeway of love in a pink Cadillac?"

A Vice Presidential candidate with a full tank of love. That's rich. How about a VP candidate who is going to show the world how to put ex in sex. Give Ms. Sanford a few months, unless she's dumber than he is.
