SC Senate Pro Tem Glenn McConnell (R-Charleston) is the most powerful legislator in the SC General Assembly. Should Sanford resign, then McConnell would be required by the state constitution to succeed Bauer as lieutenant governor. Something McConnel has zero intention of doing. McConnell has had his hands full w/ his "family values" colleagues since this nonsense got started trying to keep his Republicans together.
As for the Sanfords? Who cares... they're Christianists, not Christians. After today's display, I'll be surprised if she keeps those ill-mannered brats in the Palmetto State one more minute-leverage being what it is.
