South Carolina GOP Souring on Sanford
Despite Gov. Mark Sanford's public mea culpas and hopeful Scriptural references, it seems that several prominent figures from South Carolina's Republican ranks are putting the heat on him to devote himself fully to his family -- and we all know what that political parlance means.

Wait, before you go…CNN:
South Carolina Republican Party Chairwoman Karen Floyd seemed to suggest Wednesday that the time had come for GOP Gov. Mark Sanford to consider resigning from office.
“For the past two days, I have been speaking with Republican leaders across South Carolina,” she said in a statement. “There is clearly a growing view that the time may have come for Governor Sanford to remove himself and his family from the limelight, so that he can devote his efforts full-time to repairing the damage in his personal life.”
The statement comes on the same day as a growing number of GOP state senators called for Sanford to step down.
… Sanford and his staff have said repeatedly this week that he will not resign.
