CHARLESTON — U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford will be among a handful of Republicans traveling to Cuba next week with a delegation led by President Barack Obama.


The former governor who represents the 1st Congressional District has worked in the past to end the travel ban between the United States and Cuba. Sanford tells The Post and Courier of Charleston (http://bit.ly/1TNG9Sq ) he's long believed Americans should have the right to travel to Cuba.

He's traveled to Cuba twice on trips organized by private organizations and nonprofits. This will be his first since the general ban on travel to Cuba was lifted.

Most of those on the trip will be Democrats.

Is he looking for a new "soul" mate?

1. LOL That was my first reaction, too.

He's attracted to Latin women.

Can't say that I blame him. Even as an old married lady, I can admit a fondness and admiration for everything Latin, including women.

3. Well I hope he meets a nice lady

Although, honestly, he was an idiot for giving up the relationship with the woman in Argentina. She seemed very nice.

4. It's for the southern extension of the Appalachian Trail

5. Is he taking nylons and Hershey bars? n/t

8. Among other things

His hospitality kit will include one .45-caliber automatic, two boxes of ammunition, four days' concentrated emergency rations, one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleepin' pills, tranquilizer pills, one miniature combination Spanish phrase book and Bible, one hundred dollars in Cuban Pesos, one hundred dollars in gold, nine packs of chewing gum, one issue of prophylactics, three lipsticks, three pair of nylon stockin's...if he has anything left after going to Havana, he's gonna have a pretty good weekend in Vegas.

9. You should use quotatoin marks when quoting Slim Pickens.

[LeftishBrit]

6. Well, he has some experience with regard to travel to Latin America ...

[mountain grammy]

7. Guess almost everyone has some redeeming quality.

10. Pretty sure there's no

Appalachian Trail in Cuba.

11. Mark should be head of delegation, as he is King David. /nt

[flamingdem]

12. Exactly what comes to mind

Rebound! (Watch out Cuba).

[valerief]
