DeMint Doesn't Sound Like a Candidate for President in 2012

Why does everyone take Republicans running for President so seriously? John Ensign has an affair, so he is " no longer a viable candidate", when was he ever? Jim Demint is not a person people want to see as president. His views are anti working class and his demeanor puts him into a class all of his own. Stop the speculating, wait until after 2010.

You cannot stake your purpose in life on opposing health care reform and expect to be elected president. All those voters?
Uh, most of them know they're in deep trouble with the present "system"--especially any of them swimming in the private sector. The business owners know it. The employees know it. They're not gonna vote for DeMint on that score. Book or no book.
If Sarah Palin jumps out in the next few days and likewise makes a campaign against health reform, she will suffer the same problem. We'll see.
