Over the past few months, I have been testing the waters with numerous articles advocating Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) as a possible candidate for the Republican nomination to be our Presidential candidate in under three years.

Frankly, DeMint is the most solid choice we have, even counting Palin.
I think this is a great idea. I am looking forward to seeing the list of people who will run. I bet the majority who run will be people who did NOT run in 2012.
