Clearing the Browser Tabs – Candidate Overload Thursday Edition
I admit sometimes I’m not altogether sure that more candidates is better for the Republicans. On one hand, plenty of candidates will provide many opportunities for us to work out our policy differences in time for the general election season. On the other, there is such as thing as too many voices, especially when some of those voices won’t be doing anything but echoing what other better candidates are saying.
I say that because Jim Demint, the Senator from South Carolina, is considering a run for the White House. I don’t think he stands a prayer of even finishing in the Top Five at the end of the race and I don’t see what he will add to the conversation as a candidate. Yes, he’s been a conservative stalwart, but that doesn’t mean he’ll make a good candidate. He’d be far more useful as an enthusiastic backer of another candidate (Herman Cain, anyone?), especially in the important primary state of South Carolina.
