Poll: South Carolinians Want Lovestruck Guv To Resign

TPM:


A new InsiderAdvantage poll finds that 50% of South Carolina's registered voters want Gov. Mark Sanford (R) to resign, in the wake of his disappearance to Argentina and his subsequent admission of an extramarital affair, with 42% opposed.

The option of impeachment by the legislature gets a little less support, with 45% in favor to 46% against, within the ±3.2% margin of error.

Republicans oppose impeachment 63%-32%, Democrats favor it 71%-21%, and independents oppose it 49%-35%. Republicans oppose resignation by a 56%-38% margin, Democrats favor it 70%-20%, while independents narrowly oppose it by 45.3%-44.7%.

Update 1: Sanford's mistress revealed!

Governor Hit the Bar with the Mistress — We've been on the hunt in Buenos Aires, Argentina and found the bar where Governor Mark Sanford brought his mistress — so how do you say PDA in Spanish? — Carlos Soto, the owner of Guido's Bar, says he's seen Sanford and Maria Belen Chapur …

Update 2: A South Carolina blog has identified the woman pictured here as Shapur, but that report has not yet been confirmed. [It is reported that Maria has green eyes and dirty blonde hair.]

He should resign, now we have Jack Ryan (who wanted to commit perverted acts with his wife, amoung other perverted things) is going to try to jump start the young GOPs in Illinois? I am still shaking my head at why the GOP would allow this, GOP suicide in Illinois perhaps?
