Fame

SC's junior senator makes the front page of The New York Times:

For all his talk of being an outsider, Mr. DeMint is an insider, just in a different establishment. At a fund-raising dinner for Mr. Rubio in Washington this year, he joked that just by virtue of being there the people in the room could no longer consider themselves “establishment.” But the attendees included some of the most established names in conservative circles: Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform; David Keene of the American Conservative Union; Erick Erickson, the editor of the influential blog RedState.
Koch Industries, which finances libertarian causes like the Cato Institute and Americans for Prosperity, is among the top donors to both Mr. DeMint and his political action committee, the Senate Conservatives Fund. He has long had associations with FreedomWorks, a promoter of the Tea Party movement.
