After recent news, Mark Sanford will most likely now resign, and the Republican Party is left with a little less leadership. He was a strong conservative and a true Republican. Turning down stimulus money put him in the national spotlight. I believe many conservative and liberals upset with the stimulus packaged respected Mr. Sanford’s boldness. In my opinion, he had (obviously before this) a strong case for a part in the Republican nomination in 2012. He seemed intelligent, bold, eloquent, and fresh- almost a male form of Sarah Palin (except not as attractive of course). However, his hideous action bring flack from the left. He has lost a great deal of respect and credibility. Actions like this do the same for Republicans- the party of family values. It’s a sad day for the Republicans. Let’s hope Bobby Jindal doesn’t do anything stupid now.
