ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is still in Sen. John McCain's corner.

Pawlenty says he supports McCain's re-election bid in the Senate. Former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth is competing with McCain for the GOP's Senate nomination.

When asked Thursday if he' still in McCain's camp, Pawlenty said simply, "I am."

As Rush said (paraphrased) after Romney did likewise, it’s good that some are weeding themselves out of the race for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination early on.

T-Paw and Juan need to ride off into the sunset on Will Steger’s sled dogs.

Progressive RINOs to boot.
They all reveal themselves eventually...

At least we are finding out who our enemies are ;-)

Why don’t they just rename the GOP to RINO PARTY and get it over with!?

[BradyLS]

Well, McCain has the Minnesota vote all sewn up!

Doesn’t Hayworth have any friends?

The Tea Party movement.

I don't like it when politicians from another state butt into the business of other state's political process. I don't like it when anyone does it.

Primaries should be free of outside influence and it should be the people of that state who decide who represents them. Pawlenty, Palin, McConnell, Gingrich should all mind their own business during primary season.

Beware the blood money that McCain and his acolytes feed on.

[techno]

why didn’t you include Romney in your tirade?

[fantom]

Friends Hayworth has . It is cronies and grafters that he is short on. They probably think JD is to young to be a pubbie .

[BradyLS]

Doesn’t Hayworth have any friends?

JD Hayworth has Sheriff Joa Arpaio in his corner. As far as I an tell, Sheriff Joe's endorsement has been the only one announced by either man that's worth a darn.

[OldDeckHand]

"why didn’t you include Romney in your tirade?"

I don't think about Mitt Romney. Apparently, you do.

The OP(formerly the GOP) continues to show its socialist leaning. Palin is looking less conservative by associating herself with them. How anyone, who claims to be conservative, insists on remaining in the OP is beyond logic.

If Minnesota has term limits, Pawlenty will be ridin’ off in the sunset......and it ain’t gonna be toward the White House! Thanks Tim.....:)

Right after Palin does her last campaign event for McCain in Arizona on March 27th, she makes a short hop to Searchlight, Nevada to speak to a Tea Party event on why Harry Reid and the Democrats need to go from Congress.

After her speech in which she takes the entire Leftist agenda apart, how many people are going to honestly remember her appearance for McCain earlier in the day and how many people are going to consider her a RINO?
