Jenny Sanford endorses in gov race

[ccharles000]

Jenny Sanford, the wife of embattled South Carolina governor Mark Sanford, has endorsed GOP state Rep. Nikki Haley in the race to replace her term-limited husband.

South Carolina’s first lady made the announcement in a fundraising letter to Haley’s supporters.

“When I’m asked my wish for South Carolina’s future, my wish is for a leader of state government like Nikki Haley. She’s principled, conservative, tough and smart,” Sanford wrote in the letter. “I am strongly supporting Nikki Haley for governor, and I hope you will, too.”

Jenny Sanford has been a behind-the-scenes power player in the state for years, serving as an effective surrogate for her husband during his administration.

When the GOP governor first started facing calls for his resignation after his affair with an Argentine mistress was revealed in June, numerous state political sources said it was Jenny Sanford who called state legislators to get them to cool their attacks against her unfaithful husband.
