Mr. DeMint announced on Dec. 6 that he would leave two years into his second Senate term to run the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group in Washington. He attended the announcement at the Statehouse in Columbia and praised Mr. Scott.

“I can walk away from the Senate knowing that someone is in this seat that is better than I am that will carry the voice of opportunity conservatism to the whole country in a way that I couldn’t do,” Mr. DeMint said.

Jim DeMint is a class act from the get go. How I wish we had more political leaders like him. How I wish even more that we had more constituents like those in his state to elect people like him.

All my best wishes to soon-to-be Senator Tim Scott. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sen. DeMint let him take his seat a few days earlier just to get a leg up on seniority.

btw, since DeMint now heads the Heritage Foundation, I thought I’d post this interesting story:

“Beware! Regulations Incoming!

Buckle up, job-creators: The administrative state is set to grow steadily larger in 2013 with a slew of new regulations.”

I wish DeMint wouldn't have put himself down the way he did in his statement...not once, but twice.

This was really uncomfortable to read from someone I admire.
