PLEASE Run, Jim!
He HAS MY VOTE.
He’s a good dude- glad to have him on our side. His endorsement of Jeb B. was a little strange, but JB is probably the most conservative Bush.
The immigration stance is weak, IMHO.
If he becomes the nominee, I’ll back him (learned my lesson backing Perot the first time).
He won’t be the nominee, though.

SCREW Gannett.
President DeMint.
Man, I like the sound of that.
One of my preferred candidates.
I like DeMint.
What would your reaction be if Palin got on the DeMint train?
Anyone that runs against Palin is going to have a very difficult time. Because the Left has attacked her so viciously, any criticism of her will make a candidate on the right appear to be aligning with the left. Which will elevate her and sink them. It is a no win situation.
I would support Demint.
I think DeMint is the best “candidate” so far.
I hate Senators as President ... I’d like to get some executive experience back in the WH. However, out of all of the “candidates” (nothing is formal yet) I’ve seen thus far, he’d be the best. There’s still a lot of time though.
I know you dislike Palin, pissant ... this is not a “refudiation” of her ... I just can’t see her winning in 2012.
Pat Toomey here in PA won with a slim lead in a non Presidential election year ... there’s no way Palin would take PA in 2012. More importantly, the races in OH that were represented by a conservative were close ... Palin would NOT win Ohio. She’d either have to flip PA or win back OH from 2008 to even have a shot. Having said that, if Palin would run and win either of those states, I would be happy to eat my words :-)!
A Pres. DeMint, a solid Senate Majority, and House Majority ... all representing conservatism ... would turn this country around ... big time. I think liberals would *really* start to leave the USA if this were to happen. The 1960s may FINALLY be over :-)!
I have my doubts about the kind of candidate he would be. I think he would be a wise president though.
GO JIM! He had my vote in 2010 he’ll have it in 2012 for President if he decides to run!! DeMint/Palin 2012
And I will guarantee that Jim won't think that GOProud has a place in Conservative thought and principles like Palin does.
