South Carolina's absentee Senator, Jim ("Every vote I take is not about South Carolina") DeMint, may be following a hallowed Senate trail- following the money next Congress:
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) has a reputation as a conservative
bomb-thrower, but observers expect him to adopt a conciliatory approach
when he ascends to ranking Republican on a powerful committee next year.
The
new post on the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee will
give DeMint, a Tea Party favorite, an opportunity to hone his expertise
on policy issues and boost his reputation — possibly laying the
groundwork for a future presidential run or a bid for a Senate
leadership position...while DeMint’s rabble-rousing ways are well known, he’s yet to make much of an imprint on policy.
