Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney reached out to party lawmakers in Washington yesterday, telling them at one gathering he is seeking the White House “to save the country,” said U.S. Senator Jim DeMint.
DeMint, a South Carolina Republican who helped anti-tax, Tea Party-backed candidates win Senate seats in 2010, said Romney provided the assurance he wanted that the former Massachusetts governor shared his view about the importance of this year’s presidential election.
