Re: Kyl to become new minority whip?
Lurker is correct. This is really an internal matter and public efforts to move Senators in one direction or another on their own leadership structure is futile.
Alexander thought he had the Whip job lined up last time, but counted his votes wrong (funny enough) and someone flipped on him. He's the most moderate of the ones mentioned.
Kyl is effectively a Republican mouthpiece and footsoldier. He's the current #3 behind McConnell and Lott.
DeMint is the type that goes after earmarks and government waste. Probably the most truly "conservative" of the bunch from that perspective.
