I heard DeMint yesterday explain why he’s NOT endorsing anyone yet. Has to do with the pac he is running.

Nice job on passing along a Romney rumor, btw.

DeMint is no RINO. Neither is Bolton. Maybe they are being influenced by anti-Newt forces from Congress.

Didn’t hear that but DeMint endorsed him in 2008. The latest Mitt endorsement was from John Bolton.

Haha. Knew this was coming. DeMint was fawning over Romney the other day.

Again, no surprise here. DeMint was one of the ones who pushed Romney to run back in ‘06.

Was that a “live” interview with DeMint or an old one on tape? I have heard many different stories regarding DeMint, whom I like a lot.

Per the F&F people, he’s already set the press conference and sent a pre-release for later this AM....following on the heels of Bolton’s endorsement last night, this now appears Romney’s game to lose....

He will take SC with Demints endorsement.....

I’m pretty sure it was on Hannity (who I switch on during my drive home but generally switch off in about one minute)

When did Demint defect?

If he does endorse, he won't have "defected," he will be completely consistent with his prior endorsement, which says that either Demint is not what he's been built up to be, or that politics makes strange bedfellows.

I hope that the people of South Carolina repudiate this Romney character - and all who have endorsed him.

If nominated, he will be the biggest disaster ever to befall the two party system in the US, such as it is. It will give Obama the opportunity he as wanted to complete the socialization of the Untied States and cement it with three new socialist Supreme Court justices.

You think that past liberal justices have taken liberties with the Constitution? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

What kills me about this is DeMint was saying yesterday that endorsing anyone would hurt his pac, which is for electing conservatives to the Senate.

He’s evidently done the math and concluded that in his opinion, we do not matter that much.

Or an alternate explanation is that he is simply on the standard script for the Stupid Party.

Well, I was looking for a party when I found this one :-)

If I may, one more long distance dedication, this one going out to the ruling class....

DeMint probably figures he has nothing to lose by endorsing Romney. He's well insulated as being 'Tea Party', so the odds of a successful primary challenge are very slim. Plus he isn't up for re-election until 2016 anyway, so by then most everyone will have moved on with any festering rage they might have.

This is more or less what we get for elevating politicians in the 1st place.
