I agree Sanford should seek to right his wrongs. As a SC taxpayer, I want him to amend his ways while not being paid with my tax dollars. I would have some respect for him if he gracefully resigned. He turned himself into a national laughingstock and needs to get off the national stage. We in SC will end up with a big spender Dem as our next governor thanks to his thinking with his male appendage instead of his brain.
You're a South Carolina voter, so it's really up to you, not to me.
But I wouldn't want the governor of my state to resign from office only because he had an extramarital affair while in office. I didn't think that Mr. Clinton should have been forced from office for fooling around with another woman. I believed that what should have forced him from office was:
1. The inherent abuse of power when a high-level executive gets it on with someone very low in the ranks of the same organization;
2. That Mr. Clinton perjured himself, obstructed justice and harmed or threatened harm to those who told the truth in trying to cover up his affair.
There are seven deadly sins, and most of us fail at one or more of them more than occasionally.
Interestingly, it seems that usually, only those that give in to one of them - lust - are condemned as being unacceptable per se for further public service. And only if they get caught.
