Not to worry. This election is all about Obama and what isn’t about Obama will be all about Romney. If Romney chooses Pawlenty, it just won’t move the needle in either direction.
Pawlenty is a ‘safe’ pick.
Romney is not going to go with some one who clashes with his own person/idea.
Just imagine the debate between Pawlenty vs. Biden?
TEA Party support needed, AND THIS WON’T HELP
I’m going 3rd party next time, this pretty much seals it... got four years to work on it
not that anyone watches the veep debate.
but the kooks at DNC put forth a website demonstrating how “possible” repub veeps were bad choices based on past mistakes...
That takes a pair of stones to claim Biden as yours and then point across the aisle and say “that pick is stupid!”
Just a few days ago the media was “certain” it was Condi. WTF?
T-Paw is not my choice and I suspect not the choice for a lot of Americans.
Is this another cas of the left pricing their (beatable) opponents?
I can’t see the base getting overly excited by this choice.
I hope this another trial balloon.
The problem is the VP is traditionally the ATTACK DOG on the stump... and Mitt needs this desperately, he’d lousy at it himself
Pawlenty is a LOSER- just look at the primaries, I sure don’t want him running for President in 2016 or 2020!
At least it’s not Condi.
Have you forgotten what a RINO Sununu is? That wouldn’t be thowing us a bone. It’d be beating us over the head with one.
Bob Dole was a certain winner???? You might be able to make a reasonable case for Ford (early RINO model that he was) or Bush 41 but Dole???? Have you checked the calibration date on your political sensibilities meter lately?
Given your forum handle, I don’t see how you could or would want to make a case for any of them.
I gotta say. Pawlenty is not blowing up my skirt.
Mitt is playing like a Democrat. He’s picking someone so disgusting overall that he feels his chances of getting assassinated are minimized as no one will want his choice of VP to move into the President’s slot.
I mean, look at Obama... God help us, I don’t want anything happening to him that would put Biden in charge. (shudder)
But, Mitt still hasn’t done anything to earn my vote. I’m still waiting for that.
Motivator, not hardly.
...still trying to just understand Conservatism.
Great graphic!
Milquetoast tells us a thing or two.
1. The s.o.b. conservatives (who will give no quarter to the GOPE) are OUT of contention forever, in the Republican Party of the future.
2. The conservatives around here who are more pragmatic than they are conservative are also OUT, because the Party will become a more obvious arm of the DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST PARTY and these useful tools will be mocked.
2. The conservatives who are more panicked and fearful than they are conservative will be squashed in the exodus from the socialist Republican Party.
The base of the Republican Party, while howling all the way, has gone over to the dark side and are now complicit, cooperative and compliant with the machine who rolled them.
Laughable, if it weren’t so pathetic.
I’m honestly believing that the GOP is the “relief valve” party to calm the masses because the powerbrokers know they can never convert the US to full socialism. And if they tried far too many people would really rise up and revolt, regardless of how many cops with guns there are. So, they give us the illusion of “choice”, when they just push the same agenda regardless of who wins. We need a new long term plan to drive socialism out of the US.
Slightly off topic, but...
According to Drudge, the New York Times is the source for Romney’s vice presidential pick.
Only one way that could happen.
The Romney campaign leaked the story to the NYT.
How long will it take before the GOP leadership understands that the MSM is utterly committed to the destruction of Conservative principles?
If we need to leak, leak to Fox News or the Washington Times or National Review.
T-Paw has actually been very good on the stump lately. He also energizes Evangelicals and helps in the upper Midwest. And Romney is comfortable with him. Not a bad pick.

NYT says done deal, Condi was just a wild rumor
This suggs!
You have been watching to much American Idol.
But, so have the majority of Americans. Many women are looking for a sexy, leading man type, to be the leader of the country. If he rides a white stallion with a flowing mane, so much the better.
Who would want two boring men in gray suits operating in the background making the economy hum along and never bring any drama into our lives? Wouldn't it be so much better to see Obama prancing around the White House issuing royal commands about anything that pops into his head?
