With more details about South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) leaking out every day, the state Democratic Party is now calling for his resignation.

"Every day that members of the General Assembly spend talking about Sanford's state-funded romance is another day these Republican leaders aren't tackling the rising unemployment numbers or the plight of our public schools," party chair Carol Fowler said in a press release. "South Carolina can't afford to be at a standstill for the next 18 months with a governor who ignores his job responsibilities while pursuing personal interests. Any other worker in South Carolina would be fired for not showing up at work with no notice."
