If she doesn’t, I’m backing DeMint-Ryan in 2010.
Is DeMint running? My bet is he won't. Personally, I don't care to see any Senator or Representative run for president. I'd prefer someone from the outside of Washington. It'd be best for DeMint and Ryan to stay in the congress where their services are most needed.
My opinion is Sarah Palin will run. The only reason Palin is involved in national politics leads to this.(it has nothing to do with money, btw) She is incredibly results oriented, unlike anyone I've seen since Ronald Reagan.
I would echo your sentiments and go a step further: I believe that Demint would make a fine Senate Majority Leader and Ryan a fine Speaker of the House...
gimmee that gavel!
