SC GOP chair says time for Sanford to quit

South Carolina Republican Party Chairwoman Karen Floyd has added her name to the swelling chorus of calls for Gov. Mark Sanford to resign.
“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.”


Also in that swelling chorus? Sen. Jim DeMint.

Meanwhile, Josh Marshall notes that the gov appears to be trying to force his wife to divorce him, so he can go with the flame called Maria, instead of him having to be even more of the bad guy.

So, I disagree with the SC GOP. Let Marky Mark stay for a while. Maybe he will name names on these other women with whom he has “crossed lines.” Or maybe he’ll do the political equivalent of going postal and start spilling the beans on others. Or maybe he’ll tell us about other lines he crossed. (Check those bathroom stalls at Atlanta Hartsfield!)

Do the really right thing, Gov. Stay in office and continue to entertain us.
