There is no rivalry...its just Pissant (Palin hater) and Daily Beast trying to stir up stuff and it’s a slow day in news btw.

Oh, I know that...but the money line in this post is the fact that DeMint is holding up "hotline" legislation. This challenges (Leader) McConnell - who should be doing this!

DeMint said "in Washington is it a radical idea to read a bill and know how much it costs before we agree to pass it. I'm not going to sit by quietly while big spenders try to secretly ram through bills that increase the debt and expand the size of government."

Sounds like the real "rivalry" is between do-nothing McConnell and get-it-done DeMint!

“it’s a slow day in news”

It’s been that way for several days- this is the lull before the storm known as October Surprise.

BTW, they ain’t rivals- they are clearly on the same team, and if Sarah taps him to run as her VP he would, imho.
