Details of Sanford book deal to come this week
COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) - Prior to revelations of an extramarital affair that effectively brought an end to his political career, Mark Sanford was preparing to publish a book outlining his policy beliefs, his publisher told CNN Wednesday.
Sentinel, a conservative imprint of Penguin Group, has included a book by Sanford entitled "Within Our Means" in their Spring 2010 catalogue, the proofs of which have already been sent to the printers. It was described by the publisher as "a manifesto about fiscal conservatism - why the government needs to spend less and fix the deficit ASAP."
That was before Sanford's life changed forever. Sentinel associate publisher Will Weisser told CNN Wednesday that the company will "most likely" make an announcement about the book's fate later this week.
Weisser would not elaborate on whether that meant Sanford would write a new book about the scandal, or if it simply meant the book deal has been scrapped altogether.
"We'll announce a decision about what's going to happen about the book," he said. "So it could be anything."
Sanford's office had no comment.

Phoenix – nice job bringing Obama into the matter – but you missed Clinton? how come?
You never disappoint – LAME
I'm amazed how many Repugs throw in totally unrelated topics to try to justify another Repug's indiscresions. Sanford should turn Democrat because his actions are those of a Democrat? How about the cheating actions of the Repugs are finally being brought out into the open and not covered up!!! Repugs have l-o-n-g been involved in sleezy behavior. They've had a better record of cover-ups.
Sin against god, Sin against the bible, dishonor thy family and then cash in. Love those values!

Although it no longer exists, I did it just for you! "cause you're my favoriite niece!
Now that is a Book my beat Bill Clintion Lies...should have this title:
My Conservative lies and The Argintine Lolita!!
Mr. Sanford should be READING instead of writing books at this point. May I suggest "NOT JUST FRIENDS" by Shirley P. Glass. It helped my marriage considerably.
