Embattled South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford will meet with his Cabinet for the first time today since the announcement of his extramarital affair on Wednesday amid continued speculation about his political future.

The governor faces many calls, including some from his own party, that he resign, but not everybody is jumping on that bandwagon.

South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, who is widely known to dislike the governor, told The Associated Press he met with Sanford yesterday but the two men did not discuss the possibility of resignation. Bauer is one of the many contenders eyeing the governor's seat in 2010. He told AP that Sanford should stay in office, but admitted that he would have an advantage in the election if Sanford resigned.
