The political action wing of the anti-tax Club for Growth has endorsed Republican Sens. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Jim DeMint of South Carolina — even though Coburn isn’t sure he’s running yet.

The twin endorsments for 2010 would normally come as little surprise, as the two are the most readily identifiable fiscal hawks in the Senate.  

“It is hard to find a more devoted duo to the principles of limited government and economic freedom than Sens. Coburn and DeMint,” said the Club’s new president, former Indiana Republican Rep. Chris Chocola .
