Roll Call, citing “knowledgeable GOP sources,” is reporting that Sen. Jim DeMint is leaning towards endorsing Mitt Romney for the 2012 Republican nomination.
“Jim is for more likely to endorse Mitt than anyone else currently in the race,” a Republican with South Carolina ties told Roll Call. “Jim is a business guy and that’s his background. He’s not really the good ol’ boy conservative type. So Mitt in a lot of ways is a more comfortable fit for him.”
Asked to comment specifically on Romney, DeMint said “He’s doing really well; he looks like the steady hand in the race. I think he’s done well in the debates.”
