DeMint and Palin would split the conservative/Tea Party vote. One of them has to say no or we need to get ready for another Dole/McCain candidate, probably a former Governor of Massachusetts or worse.

Do you think Palin would run should DeMint become a candidate? She’s indicated in the past she’d not be in the race if another entered that was met her qualifications. I guess the question begs, “does DeMint meet her qualifications to run so that she didn’t feel the need to run”? If so then they’d not split the vote.
