I'll take your word for it and cross my fingers. Wonder if DeMint might pull out and run for reelection to the House.

I'd suggest DeMint stay in the House now that Beasley is in - DeMint is a very good Conservative (He voted against the Prescription Drug bill).

He can build up seniority in the House for a long time rather than run against Beasley.

DeMint term-limited himself. He's in this all the way, and without polling it's hard to tell what his upstate location and free trade stance will mean in terms of votes. It's all very well for us to guess at weaknesses and whatnot (as I've been doing), but the evidence is anecdotal and anecdotes can be very misleading.

So who knows, he could go all the way. Or Condon could. Or Ravenel. Or, as is my guess, Beasley.
