S.C. Republicans calling for disgraced governor to resign

Sanford should do 'the right thing' for sake of the party, official says

COLUMBIA, S.C. (Winston-Salem Journal) - A day after his stunning confession that he cheated on his wife with a woman in Argentina, a chastened Gov. Mark Sanford sought to do damage control yesterday at home with his family while many politicians urged the South Carolina leader to resign.

Fellow Republicans issued sharp calls for the disgraced Sanford to step down -- a move that he indicated he was not considering.

Glenn McCall, a local representative to the Republican National Committee, said that the GOP "can recover from this if we hold him accountable and the governor does the right thing and resigns for the sake of the party."
