Is he behind Romney now that everyone knows that Romney is no conservative? If you remember back in the ‘08 campaign, Romney was supposedly the conservative in the race and it was only his Mormonism that was stopping him from sweeping the nomination.
You think that in 2006 DeMint had to go get the anti-gun, pro-abortion, to the left of Ted Kennedy on homosexuality, appointing 75% non-republican judges, health care, anti-Reagan and Jesse Helms, anti-Contract with America, Planned Parenthood fundraiser, Mitt Romney to run for president because he was known as a conservative?
You think that DeMint became senior advisor to his exploratory committee, and co chair of his Presidential campaign because Mitt Romney “was supposedly the conservative in the race” in 2006 and 2007, years before the election, when Mitt was still a sitting incompetent Governor that soon left office with 34% approval, and lost the seat to the Democrats?
Romney was seen as the ANTI-CONSERVATIVE, he had literally left the GOP party because of President Reagan, and for years devoted himself only to the Democrat Party and their causes, and even Democrat fund raising.
Romney and he are still close,”WashingtonPost.com Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) will appear as the special guest at a fundraiser next week to benefit South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint’s 2010 re-election”
I wouldn’t worry about DeMint if I was convinced that he was not Romney’s path to the White House.
