Good for DeMint but I still expect him to firmly support an establishment candidate for 2012, probably Romney (who he backed last time) or Mitch Daniels, if he runs. DeMint also said not too long ago that Jeb Bush would be the best Republican choice for 2012 if he decided to run.
Al, I posted the very same thing, (Romney) and Romney has already thrown a fund raiser for DeMint, but in singing praises for Sarah, DeMint also credited Sarah for Nikki Haley and pointed out that Nikki is going to make a fine governor for his state!
