DeMint backed Romney in the 2008 presidential primary — but said he’s got “an open mind” about 2012.

“He’s obviously near the top of my list, he’s a good quality candidate, and we’ve got others who are looking at it,” said DeMint, who also is getting encouragement from some conservative activists to run for president.

Palin, for one, has never talked to DeMint before, even though they hail from the same part of the ideological spectrum and are considered heroes of the tea party movement.

“We’ve never spoken, but she left me a nice message, and I believe she’s done more for the Republican Party than anyone since Ronald Reagan,” he said.

1. It would be a 3 pronged win for Dems if she is nominated

Presidency, House and Senate.

2. Seriously, what, exactly, has Caribou Barbie ever "done"?

I'm at such a loss here.

3. She made it through half a term as Governor before becoming a full-time grifter...

...so she's done plenty for herself, but as far as anything she might have done for somebody else, I'm at a loss too.

4. It's such an exhaustive list...

I mean, wasn't she responsible for...hmmm, give me a second here!

I could have sworn she did that one thing...

I just can't for the life of me remember!

Then of course there was the time she went shopping...

THAT'S IT! SHE STIMULATED THE ECONOMY!

5. I really don't think Sarah wll run...

It's a real (hard) job..too much work, too little pay. Plus, she would get beat easily (which would be OK).

7. Honestly - I have to agree with that. She's making way too much money not being in office

Presidents only make about $300k a year and Palin isn't interested in the paycut.

10. Depends on your business plan. Cheney & Dumbya certainly found it worth their while.

[LynneSin]

11. Yea but they had the money before running for president

she never had it until leaving governor. And even then she probably isn't anywhere close to the money that Bush & Cheney had

[LynneSin]

6. I can't see any GOP player jumping on that sinking ship

Her poll ratings are dismal. Many GOP voters I know find her nothing more than an interesting TV personality along the likes of Kate Gosselin.

8. Grifter and DeMint - the

Demented Ticket.

[AlinPA]

9. That ticket can happen. Teabaggers rule the republican party. Palin-DeMint is a very

strong possibility. Those assholes are crazy.

12. I'd like to see the GOP'er shoot themselves in the foot, too.
