I agree, although not the only one. Establishment approved.
Correct.
ANOTHER good reason not to consider Pawlenty.
I see no evidence that Pawlenty has anything to do with Steve Schmidt. Pawlenty has picked some McCain advisers, yes, but they include Randy Scheunemann, who I read is a vigorous Palin defender.
I can find no story that ties Schmidt to Pawlenty (or anybody else).
