DeMint writes for DeVore

Earlier today, there was quite a maelstrom based on California Senate candidate Chuck Devore's interview with Dave Weigel.

In the interview, DeVore didn't endorse the Birther movement, but didn't exactly repudiate it, either.

“The president is doing himself no favors by spending millions of dollars to block the release of documents surrounding his birth certificate. As long as the president keeps fighting tooth and nail to prevent the release of such things, people are going to remain skeptical.”

Since then, the DeVore team has been scrambling, first sending an unequivocal affirmation of the POTUS' citizenship via its spokesman; then from DeVore himself.

Now SC Sen Jim DeMint takes to The Corner this afternoon to pen a post in support of DeVore, whom he's endorsed.

The post doesn't make any mention of today's kerfuffle, but the timing is interesting.
