remember mark sanford of appalachian trail fame. >> yes. i saw this story. this is weird how he is spinning this. is it spin, or did it really help him? >> you know, i'm going to let him do that. but sanford says that actually, when the scandal came up that he had a mistress in argentina and that's where he'd been, that it helped him be a better governor. because he was this big up and comer and everyone was expecting him to run for president. then this scandal blew up, and everyone said, well, he's toast. when he no longer had a target on his back, the democrats were more able to work with him. so whatever gets to you sleep at night. that's his interpretation of the glass half full part of that whole scandal. of course, also want to say we keep telling people we're keeping track of the details of elizabeth edwards' funeral. >> i can't get enough of hearing from her, even in just her own words.
