    Nikki Haley will not appoint herself, wants someone like DeMint

    Post from Haley today:

    Appointing a new member of the U.S. Senate is a solemn duty, and I take this responsibility with utmost seriousness. I will make this decision in a manner that is thoughtful and dignified, but also quickly.

    I want to make two things clear from the outset. Number one, I will not take the appointment myself. Number two, I will appoint a person who has the same philosophy of government that Jim DeMint and I share.

    With all the challenges we face as a state and nation, it is essential that the next senator from South Carolina be dedicated to the principles that our state most values.

    It's pretty obvious Tim Scott already has the job secured. Only black guy in the Senate being a Republican...

    But I thought Republicans stood for social and fiscal conservatism like DeMint!?

    She was elected as a fiscally conservative, libertarian-leaning Tea Partier, which is why she got Tom Davis's endorsement. She did become very moderate once she got elected which annoyed a lot of people, but this is a good chance for her to redeem herself in the eyes of South Carolina conservatives.
