The couple fascinates the Argentine press. The Argentine celebrity magazine "Caras" published an eight-page spread on them. One picture shows Sanford in a blue polo shirt, khaki shorts, baseball cap and sunglasses holding hands with Chapur ...

Gov. Mark Sanford: Did He and Lover Rekindle Flame in Florida?
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyThey're back together, maybe. South Carolina Republican Gov. Mark Sanford told reporters Wednesday he and his Argentine lover reunited last weekend in Florida. The Associated Press reports that Sanford, during a news conference on another matter, said he spent several days with Maria Belen Chapur to see if they could restart their relationship -- a pairing that cost Sanford his marriage and almost got him thrown out of office. He was still married to Jenny Sanford last summer when he disappeared for five days to visit Chapur in South America. Misinformed aides said the governor was hiking the ...

Top 5 Most Outrageous Political Videos of 2009
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyPolitics in 2009 was pretty serious business, except when it wasn't.

So, please take a step back from the contentious nature of politics to enjoy some year-end, bipartisan, moments courtesy of YouTube. 1. "Don't Call Me Liz," as re-enacted on Keith Olbermann's show The e-mail chain between Elizabeth Becton (aka "Don't Call me Liz!") -- the scheduler for Rep.

Sanford Mistress, Maria Belen Chapur, Breaks Silence to Defend Other Beau
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyMaria Belen Chapur, the mistress of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, broke her silence Sunday in a letter to the Argentinian TV station CN5, where she was briefly a reporter. The station is the source of the only photo of her yet. Oddly, after a week of hiding and biting her tongue, Chapur decided to speak out not to defend Sanford, herself, her privacy or her name, but to defend her ex-boyfriend, who has been accused of hacking into her email. Chapur referenced this man in her emails to Sanford as "a very nice guy, great heart ... but unfortunately I am not in love with him ... You are my ...
