Wow! I wish him the best. At least he won’t be in the position of refusing to attend CPAC next time.

Wow is right and, while this is great for Heritage, what a loss it is for the Senate. I liked De Mint there a lot. I wonder how much of this has to do with his thinly disguised disgust at the Boehner-McConnell efforts to be “reasonable” with Obama? And I wonder who takes over the Senate Conservatives PAC?

Tim Scott would be a great replacement, btw.

I am stunned! I understand why he is doing it but just did not see this coming, no one here in Charleston did! Tim Scott would be amazing but I sure would miss him her as my State Rep! Buzz right now is who would replace Tim!

Whoa….did NOT see this coming at all. I understand how principled conservatives like DeMint can get discouraged by the nonsense that goes on in DC, but America does need those kinds of men and women there to keep up the good fight.

That said, I really like the idea of Tim Scott as the replacement. Not just for his principles, but to watch the moonbats bouncing off the walls trying to deal with it.

It is comforting to know he is simply shifting theaters instead of leaving the fight altogether. His is the type we need staying around. Smart money says he will be a regular interviewee on Fox.

I did not see it coming but apparently Jon Henke did… Great predictor!

Maybe Henke can take over for this guy.

I seem to recall something about not needing a title to make a difference…. Can’t remember where, though. (just kidding)

Demint was interviewed at length on FNC’s Special Report yesterday and convincingly laid out the GOP recognition of its necessity to repackage its brand. He made it clear conservatives needed to change their approach to delivering their message. It’s like a football team; if you keep on doing what you’ve always done, all you’re going to get is what you’ve always gotten.
