BREAKING: Sanford "Crossed Lines" With Other Women

SC Gov. Mark Sanford (R) tells the AP -- just as long awaited word breaks of the MN Supreme Court's decision in the state's contested Senate contest -- that he has "crossed lines" with women other than his Argentinean mistress over the course of his marriage.

The AP:

SC Gov. Mark Sanford says he "crossed lines" with a handful of women other than his mistress -- but never had sex with them.

The governor says he "never crossed the ultimate line" with anyone but Maria Belen Chapur, the Argentine at the center of a scandal that has derailed Sanford's once-promising political career.

During an emotional interview at his Statehouse office with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Sanford said Chapur is his soul mate but he's trying to fall back in love with his wife.

He says that during the other encounters he "let his guard down" with some physical contact but "didn't cross the sex line." He wouldn't go into detail.

Sanford said the casual encounters happened outside the U.S. while he was married but before he met Chapur.

When exactly will we hear the bell tolling?

Can you say Gov. Andre Bauer?
