Over the past week we have become way too familiar with the affairs of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. But if you think the nation is consumed, just imagine how it is for South Carolina's First Lady Jenny Sanford. Luckily for Jenny, the women of South Carolina have rallied around her and offered their support — most recently in an online campaign called “Stand with Jenny.” Joining The Takeaway to discuss the campaign is Cindy Mosteller, former chairman of the Charleston County Republican Party, part of the evangelical organization that is spearheading “Stand with Jenny,” as well as Beccie Robbins, communications director for South Carolina Progressive Network.

Isn't it time to look at the root of the problem which is that traditional marriage doesn't work for many of us? Men are going to continue to 'cheat.' Women are going to continue to 'cheat.' In ancient Ireland, marriage contracts lasted for seven years. After that, the couple had the option to renew or wish each other well and head in opposite directions. By focusing on the cheating, we're doing what we usually do in this country--focusing on the symptom. Let's take a look at the cause of the symptom and be willing to try alternatives.
