Note: minutes before the Palin endorsement, Pawlenty claimed to know nothing about this race. I’m glad he got on board, but I don’t see his endorsement as an act of courage so much as a “me too.”
Bachmann, Todd Tiahrt (R, Kan), and Palin, IMO, have shown political courage.
Give Pawlenty some credit. He is an establishment guy. For him to go against the Beltway crowd takes some courage.
