Sen. Jim DeMint (R., S.C.) tells NRO that one’s stance on whether to repeal Obamacare should be a “litmus test” for GOP candidates in 2010. “We need to have every candidate fighting to repeal this,” he says. “This is too important. We can’t let this pass and move on. And we have time to repeal, but to do that, we need the American people to stay engaged, too.”

To conservatives disheartened by today’s signing, DeMint offers this: “I hope you feel as I do, that we have not yet begun to fight.”
