Columbia, S.C. — Sen. Jim DeMint, a Palmetto State kingmaker, tells National Review Online that he may wait until January 2012 to endorse a presidential candidate. “Probably January,” he says when asked about his timeline. “I am going to really wait and see. I didn’t hear enough from these candidates during the debt-limit debate. I want to see what they say on the president’s jobs speech, I want to see what they say on the super-committee recommendations. . . . I want to see if these candidates weigh in, if they’re willing to weigh in. That does make a difference to me — if a candidate is willing to get out front on an issue that is divisive in Washington.”
