Thune isn’t interested in a presidential run. He’s running for re-election in the Senate, and Pawlenty is dopey enough to jump on the Green Economy (Marxism for job equality) bandwagon that turns off so many on the right. Pawlenty is as big a RINO as Romney is. Huck-a-phony is a liability because he raised taxes in Arkansas and pardoned a cop killer several years ago that killed 4 cops a few months ago in Washington state. He hasn’t fully explained himself on that, beyond blaming everyone else for bringing it up.
Last I saw the dems arent even running anyone in SD. I wouldn’t count out Thune.
