Gibbs Knotts, chairman of the political science department at South Carolina’s College of Charleston, agreed that House Republican leaders can’t afford to ignore Mr. Sanford and his vote on the chamber floor.
“I don’t buy into [the theory] like some that he’s going to be the skunk in the room,” he said. “He’s been talking about a lot of the issues that Republicans care deeply about … and I suspect they’ll be glad to have another [Republican] member in the House.”
