Sen DeMint chose to remain neutral in this primary. palin could have also. just sayin.
Sen DeMint was not McCain's VP pick.
Politics being what it is there is no way Palin could remain neutral. The MSM would hound her for it demanding why. And it would be an admission that the people were correct in electing Obama over McCain and her. Which is not exactly a winning position to be in if she wishes to run herself. Just saying, something that actually makes sense.
