Southern Carolina Governor

[CaptainHaplo]

Being one state up from SC, I have watched Mark Sanford for a long time. His principled conservative stances have always been impressive. I remember the pig incident quite clearly, and fondly.

However, the man erred - and while I appreciate his candor, I suspect there is more to it which caused him to admit this. His personal choices are between him and his family (since he hasn't been lying to congress and the american people over it) - but I do find his actions in being AWOL to be inexcusable and irresponsible. Thus,he needs to resign the governorship of the state.

I am very saddened by this, because his past has indicated he was the type of leader the "republican" party needed to ever get back on track. As an independant, my views are "conservative" and more often than not I agreed with his decisions. Tis a pity. He should step down, and deal with his family before all else.
