And his support for Romney in 2008 raises questions of his judgment and how principled his conservatism really is.

Be careful where you're going with this - there's another prospective candidate who supported McCain in 2010, and the same argument you're making applies to that other prospective candidate.

AMEN, glad you posted that. Some folks need to grow up and understand that people make endorsements during their careers often based on what the alternatives are and often based on other relational things that we don’t know about. And what’s funny is, the McCain endorsement in 2010 is far worse than any endorsement in 08 and before for reasons of a changed landscape.

No it is different, DeMint was an early devotee of Romney, attempting to get Romney to run in 2008, Palin was chosen by the 2008 GOP Presidential nominee to be the vice Presidential candidate, and then naturally maintained that GOP ticket unity during McCain’s Senatorial re election campaign.

DeMint’s relationship to Mitt Romney is entirely different, and troubling, DeMint pursued Mitt Romney.
