South Carolina GOP Censures Sanford
-----------------------------------



In South Carolina, the state Republican Party has voted to censure
Republican Governor Mark Sanford following his recent admission of
having an extramarital affair. Sanford has since also admitted to other
unspecified infidelities with several different women. The censure vote
stops short of asking for Sanford’s resignation. The South Carolina
governor had been considered among the top contenders for the 2012
Republican presidential nomination before the scandal broke.
