Nevada Republican Senator John Ensign, considered a possible contender for the GOP’s presidential ticket in 2012, has confessed to an extramarital affair.

“The affair took place between December 2007 and August 2008 with a campaign staffer who was married to an employee in Ensign’s Senate office,” reported the Associated Press, citing an anonymous aide in Ensign’s office. “Neither have worked for the senator since May 2008.”

“I know that I have deeply hurt and disappointed my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my staff and the people of Nevada who believed in me not just as a legislator but as a person,” reads a prepared statement from the senator.
