Sen. Jim DeMint to Head Heritage Foundation (leaving US Senate in January)

WSJ ^

[Perdogg]

South Carolina U.S. Senator Jim DeMint will replace Ed Feulner as president of the Heritage Foundation. Mr. DeMint will leave his post as South Carolina's junior senator in early January to take control of the Washington think tank, which has an annual budget of about $80 million.

Sen. DeMint's departure means that South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, a Republican, will name a successor, who will have to run in a special election in 2014. In that year, both Mr. DeMint's replacement and Sen. Lindsey Graham will be running for reelection in South Carolina.

Think he will be able to vote against Boehner for speaker before he leaves?

Sheesh.

Yes, I know Hinckley. I was aware of the error the second I hit post, too late. Oh, the embarrassment, but all I can do is take the heat, and you are the 4th flame thrower. ROFL.
