Jim Demint to Leave the Senate

Right Wing Hero Jim Demint has announced he is leaving the Senate to accept the Presidency of The Heritage Foundation. Not much to say on this point. He was a sycophant to extreme right causes in the Senate and will continue to be a mouthpiece for the Limbaugh's and Hannity's of the world.

The only potential good thing to come out of this is if a primary fight for his seat brings out, wears out , and exposes all the right wing crackpots before they can challenge Lindsay Graham from the right for his seat. In a one party state Graham is about as good as one can expect to be in the Senate from a rationality standpoint.
