Mark Sanford is not the worst in the state&#8217;s history, says a veteran Winthrop University history professor. &#8220;We&#8217;ve had worse,&#8221; according to history professor Dr. Eddie Lee. &#8220;Admitting to adultery or having one, two, three or more mistresses in 2009 can ruin a political career. And that has happened before.
