On Mark Levin's radio show this evening, conservative Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina predicted that Republican frontrunner Romney would win the state in the upcoming Presidential primary.
"I think Romney's going to win here," said DeMint, "I think that some of the other that might have had an advantage here have really crossed ways with some Republicans as they've criticized free enterprise concepts." DeMint said, clearly referencing Jon Huntsman, Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich's recent attacks on Romney's record at Bain capital.
Demint added that he liked Romney's acceptance speech tonight, noting that, "He’s hitting a lot of the hot buttons for me about balancing the budget, and frankly I’m a little concerned about the few Republicans who have criticized some of what I consider free market principles here,” DeMint said.
DeMint said he was not going to endorse a candidate yet, because he wanted to focus on the Senate.
"I want to help deliver a conservative Senate, otherwise it doesn’t matter who is in the White House.” he said.
You betcha, Romney should have dropped out.
You know what has always made me suspicious? I’ve always been suspicious of anyone who would do anything, and say anything to get what they want.
Mitt is worse than that.
My bad - no apology really but I was just being sarcastic (should have noted it). His post was just such a rare gem of reason here I could not help myself.
Ok, ok. Joe I’m sorry you were reasonable and that had to be called out. Don’t do it again or I ZOT you RINO!
P.S. - really did like your post Joe. Seems silly to see hundreds of people who think they’re the one true gift to conservatism and suddenly all of DeMint’s contributions are null and void because he disagrees with them on how nominees should behave and who is likely to win.
Ha! You are one good person, and I appreciate your post.
Thank you so much!
You’ve been here longer than I have. I’m surprised we haven’t crossed paths before. It’s nice to meet you. ;o)
GOOD post!
Thank you, again. ;o)
