Here's the latest from Chris Cillizza:
Although some in South Carolina -- and nationally -- are calling for Gov. Mark Sanford to resign his office in the wake of his six-day hiatus from the state and his acknowledgment of an extramarital affair on Wednesday, a close adviser to the Republican governor told the Fix that Sanford is not considering such an option.
"Mark is firmly focused on reconciling his marriage, and on fulfilling his duties to the people of South Carolina for the remaining eighteen months of his term," said a senior adviser to Sanford who was granted anonymity to speak freely. "Jenny is a full partner in both of those desires."
Of course, there's always the question of whether Sanford's aide's knows what they're talking about. After all, the last we heard from them, he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Another interesting tidbit:
The source added that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a major voice in the state GOP, has publicly voiced his support for Sanford to stay on as governor and plans to actively advocate for that position over the coming days.
Of course, Graham could also be taking a hike, but if he does end up stumping for Stanford, it's worth remembering that he played a leading role in the 1998 impeachment of President Clinton.
Does Lindsey really want to join the hypocrisy brigade?
