“Attacks on Pawlenty show he’s a serious contender”
His weak-kneed refusal to confront Romney to his face shows that is really isn’t.
I’d take Pawlenty over Romney any day.
Mr. Pawlenty is what used to be called a Rockefeller Republican. East coast oriented, big spending, leftest, Romney-like fact fudger.
Tell him to go away...we don’t want any.
If you want to judge front-runnership by level of attack, Palin has them all eating her dust. :)
Well, that thinking would work for John Wilkes Booth, too, wouldn’t it?
Has there ever been a Republican who didn't talk about those issues? In contrast, Herman Cain is campaigning on radical tax reform (Fair Tax) which would quench the demand for free (i.e. paid for by someone else) goodies from the Fed. govt.
Incidentally, it's true that Reagan never ranted, raved, or gestured like a backwoods evangelist, although those tactics by the likes of Rick Perry have impressed some naive people here.
'Attacks on Pawlenty show he’s a serious contender'
'Attacks on Palin show she’s not a serious contender and is unelectable'
Do exactly the opposite of what the LSM attempts to 'spin'.
How can he be a serious contender polling at 3%?
reminds me of President Ronald ReaganI did, literally, Laugh Out Loud when I read that line.
It's like Charlie Rangel reminding you of Abraham Lincoln.
Tim Pawlenty has good credentials. He’s pro-life, pro-God, pro-gun, pro-family, pro-fiscal sanity, and anti-amnesty. He had a successful, conservative governorship in a state that’s tough on conservatives.
He might be accused of being too nice, too soft-spoken, and lacking in charisma.
Someone feel free to point out weak positions he’s supported. I’ve looked but not found anything yet.
The author's relief at this is palpable.
