No he "shouldn't". It's just as hypocritical for the people who defended Clinton to now be calling for Sanford's resignation as it is for Sanford to have been calling for Clinton's only to have an affair of his own.

If he decides to resign because of it that's his choice. But I my opinion has not changed since the Lewinski affair, infidelity is not reason enough to demand someone's resignation.

Oh yes, he "should".

Besides, who is calling for anything? If Sanford believes that one should resign for either an illicit affair or lying, and he has certainly done both, then he should act on these beliefs and do the right thing.
