I’ve heard DeMint be pretty unequivocal about the fact that he isn’t going to run in 2012, which is a darn shame. He’s one of a handful I’d love to see toss his hat in the ring.
I have doubts as to whether the lameduck Pubbies have any desire whatsoever to wait for the new conservative Senators so they can get a better deal. I’m not sure they want a better deal. They might actually be in a hurry to get this passed as is while they can.
DeMint equivocates each time right after being unequivocal. He’s pondering it.
Pubbies want a bit more spending and a lot of tax cuts. Unlike the Dems who want a lot of spending and a little bit of tax cuts. The political party that wins? The Communist Party of China.
