A lot of wishful thinking going on tonight after the man said categorically “NO.”
“Peter Brown, a prominent South Carolina donor and a member of DeMint’s kitchen cabinet, predicted that DeMint could warm to the idea of a White House bid as the rest of the field takes shape. Brown said potential candidates like Romney, Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich are failing to generate any kind of broad excitement among conservatives.”
Demint would have a hill to climb about twice as steep as Mt. McKinley were he to run. It would cost him 100 million dollars just to get a sliver of name recognition.
Google hits:
Jim Demint: 847,000
Mitt Romney: 1,690,000
Mike Huckabee: 1,550,000
Sarah Palin:23,500,000
George Bush:23,300,000
“Sarah Palin and WTF” get 1.5 million hits, twice as many as Jim Demint. He is not running, but if he did, he would be no more than a nuisance.
“Sarah Palin: 23,500,000”, more than a recent two term President.
According to Peter Brown, Palin is failing to generate any excitement. What a hoot these dupes are!
