Let’s see. Demint endorsed Romney in 2008 and, in a letter, praised his RomneyCare debacle which had just passed. Now he is praising Jeb Bush as a great candidate and hoping he or Rick Perry will run. He will only run if no one else is available. Sheesh. Is he for real?
This guy lacks the judgment to be President. And he lacks the guts. He has been cowed ever since taking a little heat after the 2010 elections over O’Donnell and Miller.
If he wants to run, Demint needs to ditch his cornpone Hamlet routine and come on in. Sarah Palin will beat him like a yard dog.
As of today: Demint has 597,000 google hits.
As of today, Sarah Palin has 56,200,000 google hits.
In other words, she leads him by about 100-1. He will need to come up with $4 or $5 billion in the next week to buy a sliver of the name recognition she commands.
The good news for Demint: He is much closer in facebook fans. Palin is only clobbering him there by a mere 22-1 (or 2,739,000 to 127,000).
Demint poses about as much of an electoral threat to Palin as Old Yeller would pose to an Abrams tank.
Seems to me like several Republicans are trying to follow the lamestream's demands by pushing others to declare. "Timing" is said to be "everything," so I am all for each potential candidate to declare according to his or her own timetable.
