DeMint: Too Ugly to Run for President in 2012
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
Sen. Jim DeMint admits that he's looks-challenged. The South Carolina Republican, up for re-election in 2010, has a new book out, Saving Freedom, and is hitting the road to promote it. His bus is plastered with his mug, an embarrassing "glamour shot." Says DeMint: "Everybody looks at that picture and then they see me, and they are a little bit disappointed." Maybe that's why he pooh-poohs talk of a 2012 presidential bid. "My hope is to find someone with better looks, more charisma, and a lot more intelligence that I can get behind."

its crazy what u guys are talking about!! i think if sarah palin is leaving her job i think she is crazy for leaving she needs to leave the white house
Palin
Listen to yourself, you say we cant afford another Bush, yet look at your hero and how much he's spent already. more than all other presidents before him. You say Sarah Palin is an idiot and you can't even spell citizen. the only thing you have against Sarah Palin is she has enough guts to say and stand behind what she believes. You don't like christians, so therefore you don't want one running the country. but what you refuse to see is that without God this country cannot stand and will not continue.
Palin
Capable...a serious threat to the status quo.
