I'm glad this process has hit a speed bump: the car was going too rapidly and had no business on that road in the first place.
No man should lose his job because he commits adultery. That's one of the things married people do.
It also doesn't matter if the spouse is attractive, sympathetic, and successful.
Hey–lots of marriages do not end in death. So what?

OK Peter S, how about guys that might like to "go forth and multiply" with your wife. That OK by yoyu ?
Going AWOL from your job as Governor IS an impeachable offense.

Perhaps he should just reimburse the expenses he incurred jetting around. What's sad is the number of convicted felons serving in congress and local governments. It should be that if you are a convicted felon (including no contest pleas, conviction at a lesser included offense, etc) you cannot serve in public office, ever.

too funny, Sanford lasts a few more months due to Robertson's rules of order

The republicans have been silent on this situation from the start. Unless they start making some noise and push to get rid of this guy, it will be obvious to everyone that they are not serious about cleaning up corruption in government.

Good old "family values-holier-than-thou" GOP!

And the GOPers demonized John Edwards! At least Edwards did not
abandon his executive post as governor to meet up with his "bimbo."

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!

Hang in there Sanford you are doing alright!

I don’t see how a person can be a Governor when he/she doesn’t know the difference between the Appalachian Trail and the Argentina Tail. Even hiking one is different from humping the other.

The inmates running the asylum.

Just let him finish his term and then disappear into the sunset. He did not do anything worse than Ensign and many other public figures. However, It is very clear now that the Republicans are not the party of family values.

When a man err's and takes responsibility for it, and humbles himself before God and people...he can be used for good things. It won't hold to impeach him.....he's on the side of angels.

Why is he still around? He should have been history the day after.

Obama is ruining this country ,,hes the one that needs impeached

The GOP is proud to support Sanford. This is why Sanford is still in office after doing much worse than anything Bill Clinton did. Sanford used taxpayer money on foreign trips to see his mistress and then lied about it. GOP = C-street hypocrites with no family values.

Sanford / Ensign 2012

This situation leaves one to believe the pot can't call the kettle black and Sanford has the upper hand.

Had this governor been a Democrat, then they would have started grooming him for President in 2016 (read: CLINTON!)!

hey everyone can say another repug screw up but at least he is not like foley from fl wanting to get to know page boys better while camping or craig trying to tap out code in the mens room,,,i'd say all they need is a glory hole to help them find old glory ha ha ,,oh how patriotic

Hard to get real excited about this issue; perhaps, because I see SC as a filler of space between NC and GA.

I hope these folks can settle their differences peacefully.

I support Mark Sanford's "looking for love". Maybe he and his wife drifted apart over the years of marriage. That is something that they and no one else have to deal with.

This guy was doing such a great job that he was mentioned as a candidate for President. Just because he had a "wandering eye" does not mean he wasn't doing a good job as Governor. I hope he stays in office.

Let's see impeach Sanford like Clinton.

I don't think what he did was right, but it's his life not South Carolina's. He is the Governor but it wasn't the White House.

He will have to answer to his maker not us just leave him alone his life as he knows it is finished.

Let Sanford finiish his term. All the attention he is getting is taking time out from government business (how little there is of it) in South Carolina.

The entire group of SC Republican elected 'leaders' are crooked and worthless. I'm from SC, living in one of the most conservative areas of the state. I WAS a life long Republican, but never again. All you hear from the talk in this area is the disgust of the SC GOP. The longer Sanford stays in office, the more the support for the GOP evaporates.

Surely why should this guy be impeached? because of having a soul mate in Argentina common folks this so called conservatives are pathetic read your bible carefuly and you will find that, man was told to go and multiply!!! and thats what the guy was just doing!!. Leave him alone to work out his marriage with his wife otherwise keep off!!

Translation: Sanford finishes his term on January 12, 2011 and leaves the South Carolina Governor's Mansion in disgrace.

If the GOP-controlled State Legislature wanted him gone, they should have done it in July or August.

I am glad to see that this is being spearheaded by other Republicans and not the Democrats. Since the GOP is supposed to be so "family value" oriented, I would think that the adultery would be enough, but that really should be between Sanford and his wife - and not the public. However, dereliction of duty definitely is an impeachable offense, and misuse of funds is an even bigger one.

I don't care what side of the aisle you sit on, being a public figure in government means that you are held to higher standards. This has gone on for far too long, and although there is a lot of agitation, there has been very little actively done. Kudos to Delleney for attempting to do something, at least. Don't know anything about him, but that was a good try.
