“He’s dropped the flag. The rest of us have to get up and go on,” DeMint said during an interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.” “A lot of us are talking to him behind the scenes in hopes that he'll make the right decision about what needs to be done.”
Asked what the “right decision” would be for Sanford, DeMint said: “I don't want to say.”"

I would call off demands for Sanford's resignation only if he publicly apologizes for supporting Clinton's impeachment and says he now believes he and the other Republicans were wrong in that politically motivated attack. After all, Clinton broke no laws, so he was certainly not guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors." However, Sanford broke at least 2 laws in South Carolina. He willfully was unavailable as governor without notifying and designating someone to be in charge. He committed adultery, which is still a criminal offense in South Carolina even if it is rarely enforced. So Sanford should apologize for his oversight in not declaring his planned absence, even if the reason were a lie. The absence was that crime to the State, not the reason. Finally, he should call to repeal South Carolina's adultry law as outdated, unenforceable, an invasion of privacy and none of the State's business."
