In the first ConservativeHQ.com (CHQ) 2012 presidential straw poll, a majority of conservative activists chose Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) as their favorite Republican candidate for the 2012 race. Sen. DeMint took the clear lead in CHQ’s monthly straw poll winning 53% of the votes in the month of November.
Sen. DeMint’s principled stances and support for fellow staunch conservatives during the 2010 election cycle led to political attacks by the GOP establishment in recent months while making him a hero of the Tea Party and conservative movement.
A group of leading conservatives recently sent a letter to GOP leaders Sen. Mitch McConnell, Sen. John Cornyn and RNC Chairman Michael Steele, writing, “We consider such attacks on Senator Jim DeMint an attack on us and all conservatives, and especially the conservative movement that is the successor to Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley, Jr., and other great progenitors of the conservative movement.”

Now that’ll work!
So far DeMint is my man for the job. Palin would not be my choice for VP but she would be one hell of Secretary of State. She would scare the hell out of foreign governments since she takes no sh!t.
I hope that their are many RINOs and few conservatives running for the GOP nomination so the RINOs split the RINO vote and the conservative gets the nod. Otherwise, we will have a repeat of 2008.
Can he raise $1,000,000,000 by spring 1012???
If the answer is no, then who can?
