Pawlenty...A little louder,a little more often,and maybe some of it will rub off on your colleagues. Would be nice.

Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty continues to emerge as a conservative leader and a major player among possible Republican candidates to face off against Barack Obama in 2012.

Timmy can bleat all he likes. As a presidential candidate in '12 - or EVER! - he's a non-starter after sitting back on his duff and overseeing the Franken theft of the election debacle in his state. Timmy not only DID nothing, he SAID nothing about the corrupt election politics in his state.

From my perspective, he needs to clean up his own state before he starts taking on the rest of the country.

Pawlenty is a global warming believer and supports a McCain amnesty. He is now moving right to make himself appear to be a conservative. He is not.

His latest foray into gaining some cred among conservatives is to endorse Hoffman--following Palin's lead.

[Logical me]

Wow, he hit the nail on the head.

Hussein is only the result of a continuing effort on the part of majorities in both parties to create centralized planning and regulate and control the unruly masses. For the past 50 years conservative Americans - defined as those who take their oath of office seriously - have been a gradually dwindling minority. Republicans like Mr. Pawlenty have been as much a part of the problem as the rats. They just go about it a bit more slowly. All of them see government as a solution to the “problems” of America. I cannot recall the last time I heard a politician say that what is needed is a massive review and repeal of laws and an elimination of whole departments of government but it has been at least 15 years.

once he denounces gorebull warming and uncouples from Will Steger’s dog sled team, I’ll think he’s found true religion.

[SmokingJoe]

Oh boy.
Ladies and gentlemen, Tim Pawlenty IS running in 2012. He has heard the message loud and clear from conservatives, and he seems to be making all the right noises.

I’m going to call this one early.

Pawlenty is a pandering, meandering RINO who needed weeks to decide who to support in NY-23. He was the last one picked for the kickball team on that one.

He’s an establishment Republican starting his masquerade early. He can keep his metrosexual butt in Minnesota, no sale for me. He would be another big Government Republican if elected President, he’s a “company man”.

I believe Tim fell under the bad influence of McCain for awhile and is perhaps starting to get it back together some.

He needs to distance himself from anything McCain and denounce the non-conservative stances he has made the last year or so, they have damaged him.

Personally Tim has been my hero for balancing our state budget without raising taxes, smoking fees notwithstanding.
