...that further resistance is futile... And so the coming South Carolina primary is widely recognized as the last realistic chance to stop Romney, .... Romney has been lining up endorsements (including SC Governor Nikki Haley), money and favorable press from conservative journalists to create an air of inevitability that he hopes will end this race by Florida, if not South Carolina...

“Waste of time...DeMint and Romney are old political pals.”

I wish there were some columnists that would write long columns about how ridiculous it is that it is even possible for a candidate to pull off a win, when only 3 or 4 of 50 states have had their chance to vote for delegates to their respective state conventions. I guess it’s easier to whine to a Senator DeMint than to explain to readers how the convention system was set up to work, and how party insiders with the help of political professionals and mass media have destroyed it.

Yep. I've never understood why so many view DeMint as some conservative hero. He takes the right stance on a number of issues, which is great. But he's no outsider. People who think DeMint's support of Romney is some type of betrayal don't know DeMint. He'll end up in some type of lobbying job when he is no longer a senator.
