S.C. State senator and 2010 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Vincent Sheheen has joined others in calling for Sanford's resignation."As a husband and the father of three young sons, I am truly saddened about the challenges facing the Sanfords, and I wish them God’s blessings. Let me be clear: the Governor’s private failings are not the issue. But his failure in his public office and the repercussions affect us all,” Sheheen said.
“Every elected official holds a public trust,” Sheheen continued. “The Governor’s actions constitute a serious breach of that trust. If Governor Sanford were an employee in the private sector, I have no doubt he would have been fired by now. If he were a cabinet head working for this very Governor, he would have been forced to resign already.”
"The governor’s office is a place for leadership, not a forum for self-healing," Sheheen said. "I believe Governor Sanford should take the only action that will allow South Carolina to move forward. He should resign his office. "
I have this to add:
For every single day Gov. Sanford stays in office, I urge people to donate $10 to Sheheen's efforts to become our next governor. I totally stand behind Sheheen and would like others to do so as well.
