| DeMint endorses Romney for president AP - Sen. Jim DeMint (news, bio, voting record) has endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the 2008 presidential race, according to a letter the South Carolina senator is sending to state Republicans. The endorsement letter, obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, marks a split between the two Republican senators representing South Carolina, which holds the first southern presidential primary. Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) of Arizona is favored by Sen. Lindsey Graham (news, bio, voting record), South Carolina's senior senator. DeMint's split is seen by some as a move to find a conservative alternative to McCain, but it's not that much of a surprise. DeMint was elected in 2004. McCain and Romney have both set up exploratory committees and started raising money for presidential bids but haven't formally declared they're running.
