Pressure eases on South Carolina governor

[spanone]

ATLANTA (Reuters) - South Carolina Republicans have voted to censure the state's governor Mark Sanford over a sex scandal rather than calling for his resignation, easing pressure on their beleaguered colleague to quit.

The party issued the censure late on Monday to admonish Sanford over his affair with an Argentine woman and said he had "breached the public trust" and demonstrated "repeated failures" but stopped short of recommending further action.

Sanford, a conservative who had been seen as a possible Republican presidential candidate for 2012, has said he would try to repair relations with his wife and four sons, although he described the Argentinian woman as "the love of my life."
