Pawlenty, under the radar of D.C.’s political community, has locked up some of the key operatives who engineered then-President George W. Bush’s reelection campaign — a significant feat for a little-known Midwestern politician.

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are the only reason Bush hung onto office in 2004.

It had nothing to do with his "operatives."

Sarah Palin will be the next President.

I see him pulling more votes from Romney than Palin.

"Sarah Palin will be the next President."

God willing.

8 years of Obama will yield nothing but catastrophe in terms of economics and National Security.

Here’s some political advise. Don’t ever refer to yourself as a “compassionate conservative”.

We had better hope not. I was really underwhelmed with him. Maybe he can tie up the Bush people who pushed him into the socialist agenda and we can be rid of them.

He is decent for a RINO -- given that he did not go along with the perennial Dem legislature's insistence on a tax increase.

And he is solidly pro-life.

But he guzzles the global warming kool-aid.

He'd make a good deputy assistant undersecretary of something or other, in a Palin administration.

As long as he didn't get to set policy.

Cheers!

We need someone with balls, like Palin or Bachmann.

Obama will not get a second term.

He won't even run.

In order to run for a second term, he will be required to submit a legitimate birth certificate.

If he doesn't, there will be a march on Washington that will dwarf the Tea Party.

I smell an Epic Fail in the GOP’s future if they continue to push RINO’s on us...

If Pawlenty is considered a RINO then the republican party will go the way of the Whigs...

Sarah’s grassroots won’t let it happen this time...

At any rate, the fact that he’s hiring former Bush people bodes ill for any potential campaign he may launch.

As long as the GOP maintains open primaries it is likely to nominate middle-of-the-road squishes. Actual conservatives win how often under the current system? I can think of only one in my lifetime and that is Ronald Reagan.
