Pissy, Pissy come out WHEREVER you are...!
This is smart on his part. He knows that she doesn’t have the slightest chance of being president and would struggle in a primary so this is a way to get in good with some of her primary supporters and have that carry over to enthusiasm for him in a general election. Not that he is likely to get that far but this isn’t a bad move.
shoulda titled his book “Courage to Mandate More Ethanol”.
“...as he weighs a run — perhaps against the former Alaska governor ...”
... or a wish to run WITH her ....
I’ve never understood the desire to read these political books. Just not appealing to me, even if I agree with them politically.
“Once the economy collapsed, Barack Obama was going to win that election.”
Completely false. Had Mccain told them to pound sand on the bailouts, they might have won.
He’s fishing for VP consideration.
As far as I can tell Pawlenty is ok aside from being a full-fledged ethanol backer. How can we get rid of that corrupt excuse for fuel?
This is Pawlenty indicating he’s open to being her VP. Thune, on the other hand, said that “if she were to get into the race, it would clearly change the equation for a lot of people,” he said.
This one is easy.
Palin is already as good as nominated, and has a national following of tens of millions, so he correctly avoids offending any of them.
Where he loses lots of points is when he asserts that the economy collapsed, when what we all know is that the economy was deliberately taken down by the powerful democrats that controlled all but one of the major financial institutions. He must know that too, so why the gaffe?
