It may also be simply because DeMint is in the Romney camp and Palin needs a presence in SC. DeMint was a Romney supporter in 2008 and Romney has been in SC in the last couple of months raising money for DeMint. Romney must feel he can still count on him.
Sarah made the contribution to Graham in Sept at least partly in response to pressure from the FEC to hit the 5-candidate limit. She also contributed to Michelle Bachmann, Marsha Blackburn, Bob McDonnell and Hatch at the same time.
Under FEC pressure, Palin's PAC doles out cash
That said, I'd like to see Palin cultivate DeMint and I suspect she will if she has a chance with the guy. Romney may have him sewed up so who knows.
Thanks for the informative article.
I guess DeMint is choosing political expediency over a conservative by hopping on the bandwagon of Romney, instead of Palin.
That’s very discouraging for a conservative to choose the RINO vs. Palin for 2012. A big letdown by DeMint.
It also explains exactly why DeMint wasn’t given any money. Since DeMint has chosen Romney, Palin will need a SouthCarolina politico to help her in an early GOP Primary state.
I hereby demand that the entire stoopid posse denounce DeMint and forever cross them off his list as a candidate. He has gone too far, he has cast himself into the darkness. *Gnashing of teeth and the bolt of Tash falling from above!*
And for those who should know better....../sarcasm. It is good to gloat though.....Good night all.
