Pawlenty said as he announced his climate change commission, “our global climate is warming, at least in part due to the energy sources we use. We cannot solve it by ourselves, but we need to lead and do our part. We also need to push for an effective national and international effort.”

Pawlenty is a definite non-starter for me, along with the Huckster and Romney.
I’ll take Palin over those guys any day, as a matter of fact I’ll take Joe The Plumber or Jim the electrician over any of those guys.
That quote is 2 years old and rather vague.
Things have changed quite a bit since then. I can tell you that Palin is not respected among moderates and Independents. You may wish differently but that the way it is.
Her appearances on Saturday Night Live, Oprah Winfrey’s show and her resignation from being Governor of Alaska raise question for me.
I wish you the best with Sarah,, though.
