Jim DeMint Also May Run For President of Losing To Obama

U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint’s keynote speech next month to an Iowa forum for Republican presidential candidates has fueled hopes among some evangelicals and conservative activists that the South Carolinian will launch a White House run.

DeMint, overwhelmingly elected to his second Senate term in November, will deliver the evening banquet address to a dozen GOP presidential hopefuls — and hundreds of party stalwarts — March 26 at a Des Moines hotel, scarcely 10 months before Iowa’s leadoff presidential House caucuses.

Scarcely! Looks like this presidential election will be another Jim DeMint-Alvin Greene showdown. That's a lot like the relationship between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. So expect Greene to win this time. [ The State ]
