How would you know that she'd never cave? Jim DeMint was considered the rock-ribbed conservative in the senate (I still think he is), now Freepers think he's selling them out. I'm sorry but too many are doing to Palin what was done to Obama - projecting their idea of perfection on him/her.

No ... I have the time that she served as Governor and her decisions and actions during that period to go by.

I spent all day on the phone calling DC. Did you? I spoke to many Senate offices and I spoke with DeMint's people... they registered my statement and refused to discuss anything beyond DeMint “standing strong”. I did not bash him... I pointed out that it appears that he caved and that Sarah has never caved... and she had ample opportunity in Alaska to do so... taking the easy route... but she never did.

If DeMint did bail out... and it appears at this point that he did... he has done himself tremendous damage. Some of us have ZERO tolerance for any further political bullsh!t. That is it... bottom line... no negotiation.
