Minnesota Governor and 2012 Presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty needed to make an impressive showing in his first major speech in front of Iowa's most influential Republicans. He accomplished that goal. Pawlenty's speech at the Iowa GOP's fall fundraiser was peppered with humor, stiff jabs at Barack Obama, and well-placed, straight right wing points

Don’t forget Pawlenty is a RINO trying to change his stripes.
Good and Pawlenty .
You underestimate how much Iowans don’t like Minnesotans.

it sounds like the only person people on FR are allowed to support is Sarah Palin and Duncan Hunter. . .
Let’s not be so PC, give the guy a chance.
At least he didn’t have to resign being Govenor, like Sarah Palin .
Exactly!!! PAWLENTY (R)hino, JUST SAY NO!
Is he a RINO or just not a puritan?
Let’s not. Pawlenty is a greenie RINO big government Republican.
no he’s an opportunist....is consistency too much too ask?
Well come on.. We have to pick someone. This never ending litmus test that some people in this party have is why we ended up with McCain. No one was ever good enough. Time to let some stuff go and pick a leader. We need a ‘94 Newt again. Someone to be the face of the party. We can’t go into 2010 with that idiot Steele as our party’s spokesman.
How can you complain about McCain and show support for Pawlenty at the same time?
Before all of this tea party stuff Pawlenty and McCain were on exactly the same page. He has no principles, and he’s got his finger in the wind figuring how he can best win the R nomination. We’ve tried this before and been fooled by it before.
I am 100% with you.
My biggest fear is that the pursits will pick a Huckabee and that will end in the current nightmare extending to 8 years.
Like we gave McLame a chance? Sorry, not this time around.
I’d love to hear specifics. He always seemed Ok to me but maybe I haven’t followed close enough.
I am no Pawlenty fan - at the same time, I did not study his background and record enough. Will do so in the coming months.
Are these the same Iowa Republicans who were impressed with Huck ?
I don’t know of any conservatives who voted for McCain in the primaries.

I’m in MD and I voted for Duncan Hunter in the primaries even though McAmnesty already won primaries. I voted for Sarah Palin in 2008.
