Sanford says win gives him mandate

(Columbia-AP) November 9, 2006 - Governor Mark Sanford says Thursday afternoon it's nice to have the election behind him.

Sanford says winning 55 percent of the vote represents a mandate from South Carolinians to restructure government and cut costs.

He says no South Carolina governor in the past 15 years has won by that wide a margin.

Sanford says the issues are complex and he will need help explaining them to the public.

He says too often the media focuses on stories such as his past conflicts with lawmakers.
