DeMint's replacement might be......god forbid[DU/mode].....a black conservative republican.

Amazingly, Rush Limbaugh (who rarely interviews people) was interviewing DeMint this afternoon: the transcript of Limbaugh's show is not yet available, but in essence DeMint said he believed his background in advertising would help him to spread the Conservative message better with the resources of the Heritage Foundation, which he will now lead, than through his service in the Senate.

Given that we lost 2012 in part because of losing the AgitProp War, DeMint's decision may be a good one.

Opening the door to a younger Conservative candidate - no matter the ethnic background - may also be wise.
