Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) is endorsing a lot of Senate candidates running against the GOP establishment. But that won't be the case if Dino Rossi runs in Washington state.
DeMint told the Ballot Box that, if the former gubernatorial candidate gets in the race, Rossi can expect his support - and that of his Senate Conservatives Fund.
"Rossi certainly would be a great candidate," DeMint said. "I’m almost certain he would have our full support if he jumped in."

Under the bus you go, Jim! Say hi to Sarah for me!!!
Rossi is worse than McCain?
No, not under the bus. Rossi is OK. But he’s about as tough as a wet kleenex.
Rossi is the milquetoast who let that fagged out Gregoire recount the vote until she won the governor's race, right? Good grief... No, I don't think conservatives want Rossi anywhere near the Capitol building. We need fighters with guts.
Didier is the better man, from what I’ve heard, but we need someone who can win in the libtard state of Washington. That may be the reason why de Mint is willing to back Rossi, because de Mint is not a party-before-everything kind of guy.
THis is the first year in ages where a rock ribbed conservative stands a real chance of gaining a Wash state Senate seat. I’m not going to support the milquetoast candidate.
I will NOT subscribe to the electability argument. Those rules are way over for me.
I like almost all of the GOP candidates. They just need to get the act together & decide.
Rossi’s not THAT bad. He’s nothing like Crist...who is CLEARLY more comfortable with Democrats than Republicans (although he does fake it well when money is being offered).
I’m not sure I knew you were a fellow Washingtonian. LOL. shows you how much I hang out on FR’s WA State site.
How is Didier doing in the polls?
I couldn’t care less. It’s the PRIMARY. TIme to pick the conservatives. He has plenty of time after to get name recognition
But does he have a real chance though?
He is polling poorly by
Clint Didier (R) 30%
Patty Murray (D) 49%
against Murray.
No, Rossi isn’t “that bad”. That is correct. But he debates like a weanie.
You ain’t going to convince me to vote for Rossi. 3/4 of Washingtonians have never heard of Didier yet. But they will.
As a farmer, I know agriculture has a need for farm workers, especially since present labor laws make it hard to employ our young people to do any work on the farm.
We need to revamp and revisit the “guest worker program” which once offered temporary visas for those wishing to come from other countries to work for a limited amount of time and then return home. Like many other federal bureaucratic programs, the government has made today’s “guest worker program” so complicated, cumbersome, and expensive, it is difficult for an employer to utilize.
The government through its unwillingness to control illegal immigration has unfairly placed the burden of proving employee legal status on the back of the employer. The difference between real and counterfeit documents is difficult, if not impossible, to determine. Immigration raids conducted at the work place have proven disastrous to employer and worker alike. A workable system to provide legal temporary workers in industries dependent upon this type of labor is crucial.
Oh! Oh! Didier sounds a little like McCain on this issue. I wonder how he proposes to deal with the 12 to 20 million already here? And guest worker programs don't work. I wonder if Clint has ever heard of the E-Verify program.
“No, Rossi isn’t “that bad”. That is correct. But he debates like a weanie.”
Bummer - sounds like he needs to MAN UP a bit.
