FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
The writing seems to be on the wall for South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford - even if he refuses to read it. There's a growing chorus of voices in that state calling on the governor to just go away.
Sanford has been under fire ever since he went MIA for a week in June, lied about his whereabouts, and then resurfaced only to admit he wasn't hiking the Appalachian trail, but was in Argentina visiting his mistress. Since then he's been under investigation for his use of state resources.
The head of the Republican Party in South Carolina is expected to ask later today for a party resolution calling for Sanford's resignation. They voted in July to censure Sanford for "repeated failures to act in accordance" with the GOP's core beliefs. But they didn't ask him to step down then.
This comes just a day after a majority of the Republicans in the state House of Representatives wrote a letter to Sanford demanding his resignation... they say his actions have been "destructive to our state's image on a worldwide stage."
Among the 60 Republicans who signed the letter are several lawmakers who would play key roles in an impeachment process, which has also been talked about.
But Sanford isn't listening.. he called this letter "both unpersuasive and unsurprising," and said he won't be railroaded out of office by his political enemies.
A of couple weeks ago, Sanford also rejected his lieutenant governor's request that he resign for the good of the state.
Here’s my question to you: Why won't South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford go away?

It's really none of my business, or yours, since we don't live in South Carolina, however my guess is that he is an egomaniacal fool suffering the delusion that cheap grace will spare him from the divine judgment he so richly deserves.
Gina from South Carolina writes:
Mr. Cafferty, Being from S.C., I can only tell you we tend to produce some of the biggest egos in our politicians and Mark Sanford (and Joe Wilson too) is no exception. It is entirely about ego and to Mark Sanford, the only thing that matters is himself....not wife, not children, not God, and certainly not the people of the state of S.C. Pray for us Jack, we need all the help we can get!
Jackie from Dallas writes:
Because power is a drug, and he is hooked… The only way to get him to go away is to impeach him, convict him, and dump him, just like his wife did.
James writes:
This guy got all over Pres. Clinton for his infidelity and said he should quit. But it is ok, he's a Republican, they don't have to tell the truth, be honest or forthright. He fits right in the Republican Party.

Go away? C'mon, he thinks he's entitled to be there. Just like far too many other politicians. Right Larry Craig? Right Charlie Rangel?

His arrogance exceeds his ignorance. I find it a depressingly common failing in 50+ white, male Republicans.
Ann from Columbia South Carolina writes:
The sad part is this great nation must think that we are a bunch of uneducated, rude and unfaithful idiots from South Carolina. This is not true. There are a lot of great people here. Unlike the people who run this state.
