CNN says South Carolina state legislators are increasingly resigned to Mark Sanford remaining governor through the end of his term.
Sanford has taken some of the toughest blows from members of his own party during the two-week saga. But even Republicans who have been vocal in calling for Sanford to step down appear unwilling to try to force him from office.
"My gut feeling is I don't think impeachment is going to happen," said state Rep. Lanny Littlejohn, who was among the first Republican legislators to ask Sanford to resign after the scandal broke. "I don't know if there would be enough votes there to do that."
(ea) Lanny Littlejohn?
Okay, so let's assume his pet's first name was Lanny, and he grew up on Littlejohn Street.
