He could stab his hand, swear an oath to God he's not running, and sign a guarantee in his own dripping blood that he's not running in 2012 and they'd still be shouting that we just need to will it to happen even HARDER!
He's not running = he's going to run.
Reminds me of that scene in “The Life of Brian” where Brian gets called the Messiah no matter how many times he denies it. LOL “Only a true 2012 candidate would deny they're running!”
The list of politicians who are in my opinion qualified to run is pretty limited. He is on that short list. He may not want the job, and he has said so several times. Who could blame him. Nevertheless he is one of the few that I would support.
There are probably quite a number of people who want the job, but most of them were AWOL during the last two years, or merely went through the motions. The list of actual fighters is pretty short. DeMint is one of them, and yes, we do need him in Congress. But we need a fighter in the White House too. So, does he have a brother?
