Excellent points! I thought Coleman was going to take it to the Supremes - get it out of the state if nothing else. If Pawlenty is positioning himself for something national, do you think he’s a good bet to support despite this goof?
The only people humping Pawlenty is the media and some out-of-touch members of the RINO establishment (and, of course, the only reason why the media touts certain Republicans is because they want the weakest ones, ones who have inflicted the most amount of damage to the party and the Conservative movement, to face stronger Democrats in the general, and even if the RINO happens to win, the left still wins).
I mean, he’s been a disaster for the MN GOP. Why would a sane Conservative support someone who presided over the shrinking of the state GOP’s standing in the State House of Reps from a 60% majority when he took office now down to 1/3rd, or the State Senate from a nearly tied to 30%, or a complete wipeout of the other statewide GOP elected officials, blowing of both Senate seats, loss of another Congressional seat (and coming perilously close to seeing the entire delegation reduced to 1 federal Republican last November) ? And this all the while he’s saying we need to reach out to liberals ?!? WTF ?!?
You notice the media talks about how “divisive” Palin is in the GOP (lie), how she just doesn’t enjoy a lot of support (lie). Well, since she’s so destructive and divisive, why isn’t the media humping her candidacy, since by their reckonining, she’d be easy pickins for the False Messiah in 2012 ? Because they know it’s all bullcrap. She’s precisely the person they don’t want us running. That’s why we run here and tell Pawlenty to take a hike. He had 8 years to demonstrate a good record, and he blew it big time.
