Good luck with that Charles. Palin and DeMint were simply posturing for their own 2012 ambitions. They are not doing it for gaining a governing majority in Congress.
They are doing it for a conservative governing majority, Chief.
I can’t speak to Palin’s intent but I would wager she did it because one of the largest tea party movement’s at her request helped take out Lisa Murkowski and they jumped into this race. She owed them.
As for DeMint he has said over and over he isn’t running. I guess you don’t elieve him but I don’t really care. I would only state for a FACT this guy has been clashing with his party for a few years now before this movement was even born. I have been watching him carefully even before his name ID took a large climb the last few months and so far I’ve seen nothing to indicate this guy isn’t sincere.
