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.


Good Morning.

I agree, this doesn't bode well for DeMint, as I see it supporting Romney is not only foolish but an exercise in futility, the only asset Romney has in his quixotic quest for the presidency is his money, and John Connolly proved that just isn't enough in 1980.

I keep coming back to a potential presidential candidate that would literally have to be drafted as they've shown no interest in political office but they are by far one of the best qualified leaders with integrity and honor that I've ever seen.

As StephenJohnBanker said, I don't dislike Sarah Palin, far from it: I agree with many of her views, but we do her no service if we rubber stamp everything she (or her PAC) does. In any event, my choice for President if I had my druthers?

A good man.

The snow is great, it finally stopped and the kids are having a blast in it. My, I’ve been shoveling my driveway and deck...about every 4 hours to keep up.

Btw, there are things I disagree with Palin and they will come up over time if she runs. But I still haven’t seen a candidate as conservative as her that is electable.

What puts her over the top with me is both her conservatism and the fact that she took on the establishment, both Democrat and GOP.

She isn’t perfect by any stretch. None of us are.
