Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) will appear as the special guest at a fundraiser next week to benefit South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint's 2010 re-election, according to a copy of the invitation obtained by the Fix.
The event, which will be held on Monday in Charleston at the home of Sheila and Bill Prezzano, features a number of power players in Palmetto State politics including money men Dick Coen, Bill Hewitt and O.L. Thompson as well as former Gov. Jim Edwards, former Rep. Tommy Hartnett and Republican National Committeewoman Cindy Costa.
Hosts for the event are expected to donate $4,800 per couple while sponsors must give $2,400.
Romney's presence at the fundraiser is yet another sign of the former governor's interest in a second presidential bid in 2012.

That’s an interesting pairing. And, I don’t think I like it, as I find DeMint actually appealing.

DeMint is harming himself if he mates up with Romney.

“Romney’s presence at the fundraiser is yet another sign of the former governor’s interest in a second presidential bid in 2012.”
More like: Romney wants to learn how to raise cash because he threw most of his away on his failed presidential bid.
To: rabscuttle385
Since he allows Romney to assist his campaign that DeMint must be a
RINO.
No more RINO's!

Could it be that Romney is not the anti-Christ after all?

Nope.

Romney is collecting chits for 2012.
No matter what, he’s still a chithead.

If Romney agrees to promote DeMint, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The kicker is what DeMint promised to get that support. If he promised anything positive toward a Romney run, then that’s bad.

This is like Tom Coeburn supporting McCain in 2008 Primary....makes me wonder a little bit about DeMint.

Romney is desperately trying to get some conservative street cred going.
DeMint is just simply the gold standard.

That's right, DeMint is a RINO!
Everyone is a RINO.
Except for the great Mark Sanford.

Remember all, DeMint did endorse Romney in 2008.

Dumbest post ever. Really? On FR all I see is that Romney is a RINO. His RINO'ness knows no bounds. Romney is a pond scum RINO, no lower example of RINO is to be found. Romney makes Olympia Snowe look like a stalwart conservative.
So, never mind ACU ratings and things like that, where DeMint scores as the most conservative senator. Commit these ratings to the flames, all we need to know is that DeMint did a fund raiser with Romney.

Much like Romney's every-changing positions on the issues, he will do anything, change any position, align himself with anyone if he thinks it will give him political advantage.
He is not a leader and he is not POTUS material.
He is a used-car dealer selling snake oil.

Romney is a pond scum RINO, no lower example of RINO... 1. Meghan McCain
2. The guy who married Mary Bono
