As far as 2012 -- I'm still with Palin, for now.
DeMint might make a great President, but unfortunately(?) he may be too humble and insufficiently ambitious to seek the office. Although some people would call those Character Virtues, not Vices.
"I want to continue doing what I’m doing. Leadership is a liability for somebody like me who’s trying to build grassroots support around the country for conservative candidates." -- Senator Jim DeMint, 5/13/2010
Keep at it, Jim.
Don't get me wrong. I love Palin. I trust her to follow her heart. I just want to be absolutely sure her heart is in the right place. I'd love to see her really come out against statism with intellectual conviction. If you've got some quotes that demonstrate her commitment to eviscerate the elitist federal leviathan (#1 target: Department of Education), please post them.
