Pawlenty is not RINO material - but he’s no conservative either.

He tried to pass himself as a conservative when he won the GOP endorsement in ‘02 by vowing a “No New Taxes” pledge - which he ended up breaking in many ways. He’s also into the ethanol and “green” crap. He gave a speech a few months back where he told a bunch of GOP activists that we essentially need to “grow up” and change our line of thinking.

In short, I find him to be a smug disingenuous ass.

I truly believe that if Pawlenty runs for Governor in 2 years (pending that he doesn’t end up as VP), he won’t get the GOP endorsement. A lot of activists and delegates are really peeved at him.

In a way, Pawlenty figures. He seems to have no charisma, he is aligned with McCain on the oh so important issue of Global Warming and He will attract no additional Electoral College Votes. He's perfect!....for Bob Barr to get his 10% and propel Obama to the White House. Is this all a bad dream that I will soon be waking up from?

Thanks for the assessment of Pawlenty,I have to agree with it!

I think the best and strongest VP choice would be Palin.
My vote is for Palin, in 4 years she would have the experience to take over as President!
