There's been a shift in the subtext about our governor.

Read more stories on this subject in our Mark Sanford topic page.It used to be about how Mark Sanford is staying put and will weather the storm. Now it's more about how long can Sanford hang on, and if the issues is not resolved by January will the Legislature focus on its Sanford gambit instead of doing what it needs to.

As evidence, I offer this piece by The Wall Street Journal titled "Shamed Governor Battles to Save Job" and The Post and Courier's piece title "Business leaders fret over Sanford."
