Romney is supporting Bennett, and another candidate in Utah that are not popular as conservative candidates. Demint sees the political climate has changed for the coming elections to those who are conservative and not just say that they are. He stepped back from Romney because as all know Romney changes with the wind and never can be counted on to hold the line. DeMint will align himself according to how he sees the political climate. Romney plays both sides and that will no longer work with the public.
Romney hasn't gotten it fully yet, but he'll have to in order to have any chance of winning...my bet is he won't cause he likes the glory and attention from where ever the wind might blow and he'll flip flop accordingly. Romney is a fraud.
Romney was changing with the wind in 2008 but that didn't stop DeMint from endorsing him over conservatives back then. His slobbering over RomneyCare won't help either.
DeMint can try and distance himself all he wants from Romney, but until he comes out and gives a solid 'I made a mistake, one that won't happen again' speech, he's going to be dogged like Sarah Palin on McCain.
But I get it. And it wouldn't change my mind about supporting him.
I am posting all this so the starry-eyed DeMint supporters who hate Sarah for supporting McCain know their guy is far, far from perfect too.
