When HUMAN EVENTS profiled Sen. Jim DeMint (R.-S.C.) as a possible Republican vice presidential candidate in ’08, we likened the freshman senator and former advertising man to another small businessman in his first Senate term: Barry Goldwater of Arizona, who became a conservative hero after blasting spending under a Republican President and went on to be a successful chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
DeMint had already carved a niche for himself by breaking with fellow Republican and President George W. Bush over the spending issue (“We lost our way when Bush was elected”) and chairing the Senate Republican Steering Committee, the informal gathering of Senate conservatives.
Two years later, the senator is enjoying a growing reputation a conservative “superstar” and his political action committee has had a particularly successful year. And there is now talk of Jim DeMint as a possible Senate Republican Leader or chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee for 2012.

DeMint/Christie 2012
DeMint/Pence 2012
DeMint/Barbour 2012
DeMint/Kempthorne 2012
DeMint/Ryan 2012
I’d be cool with any of those.
Please, no more Senators running for President. I’m tired of Republicans like Bob Dole and John McCain saying things like, “My good friend Harry Reid”, “My special buddy Bawney Fwank”, “Don’t criticize Obama, he’ll make a great President”.

Good man, no question. But we also need some solid people in the Senate. So many leadership positions have been held by RINOs and wusses. I’m not sure I’d want to hurry him out of there.
Agreed!
Hey pissant,
Ya ever think maybe DeMint would like to take a ball bat to his fellow S.Carolina Senators head?
Feh. No More Senators.
It would be the most conservative administration since Harding/Coolidge.
I’d pay to see it.
No more governors. We’ve had enough of Carter/Clinton/Bush “executive experience”
I agree. Jimmy Carter and Clinton were fabulous.
Gee I can't imagine who he'll say. /s
I’d take him over all the Dems, and RINOS like Susan Collins and John McCain.
So was BobDole. So was McQueeg. So was Ted Kennedy.
Wanna lose to Obama in ‘12? Run another Senator who’s turn it is.
