South Carolina Speaker Asks Sanford to Resign

House Speaker Bobby Harrell (R) "became perhaps the most powerful South Carolina politician to call" on Gov. Mark Sanford (R) to resign, reports The State.

In a letter, Harrell said Sanford's resignation "would allow the state to move forward from the distractions created by Sanford's secret trip to Argentina in June and the subsequent confession that he'd been engaged in an extramarital affair."

There were no threats of impeachment, however, in the letter.
