Sanford "Absolutely" Rules Out 2008 Whitehouse Bid
According to a new story in the Columbia State, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has "absolutely" ruled out a 2008 Whitehouse bid.
"Sanford has said in the past that he was not planning to run for the White House, but he always had left the door cracked for a possible bid. His name has been mentioned by political observers handicapping the early, early race for the GOP nomination," writes the State. "That will not happen, Sanford said, and he plans to be South Carolina’s governor until 2011, should he be sworn in again in January 2007."
In his own words, Sanford says, "Should I get re-elected, I absolutely am serving all four years, because we just have some huge issues here in South Carolina that are just an immense challenge."
