Who knows? Suddenly the universe is spinning out of control! (hat tip to James Taranto.)
how is Pawlenty a dark horse?
The guy was the #1 name mentioned for the VP slot and was head of the NGA. He’s very prominent.
Same with Sanford, a 2 term Gov of the state that has been 100% in terms of picking the nominee and current head of the RGA.
In fact, I’d say Sanford is currently the favorite for 2012.
