Less Than 500 Days of Sanford?

August 31, 2009 | 9:04 AM

SC House GOPers held an open-door meeting this weekend to discuss beginning the process of impeaching embattled SC Gov. Mark Sanford (R). As the Columbia State reported, though, GOPers "took no official action Saturday, it was clear that most in the caucus want Sanford to go." Still, the House GOPers said they'll wait on official conclusions from a state ethics commission report before acting.

Meanwhile, SC GOV hopeful Dwight Drake's (D) camp released this web video today called "(500) Days of Sanford" --a take-off on the indie flick "(500) Days of Summer"-- to mark today's milestone of 500 days until Mark Sanford's term as Governor ends. Drake has been calling for statewide elected officials to use a Constitutional provision to put Sanford's removal from office up before the Legislature within 30 days, and the video is collecting petition signatures for that move.
