(CNN) – Republican South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, a leading force in the Tea Party movement, said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that he's not running for president.
CNN Anchor Wolf Blitzer asked DeMint, “Are you going to run for the Republican presidential nomination?”
DeMint responded, “No, no I'm not.”
His comment comes on the same day that he introduced a bill to repeal the health care law signed by President Obama and one day before the inaugural meeting of the Senate Tea Party Caucus, for which he is a founding member.

It seems every day I’m reading reports that he will run. And reports that he won’t run.
But he is going it Iowa, right? Tells me everything I need to know.
And I thought you were going to say “I like Senator DeMint but, ...”
“He’s a Myth Romney supporter”. I see many comments on other threads about his support of Romney in ‘08. And I ask those FReepers; “would you feel better if he had supported McCain?”
Ah, well.
