I'm sorry but Pawlenty has a lot to prove.

[MNJohnnie]

Curious how the Democrat directed “News Media, like some Freepers, are so pathetically desperate to promote infighting amount the Republican Candidates.

[Anti-Bubba182]

He needs more Moxie than he has shown.

[A. Morgan]

No as in RINO!

[cripplecreek]

For some reason he reminds me of Dr Bunsen Honeydew’s assistant, Beaker.

Any of the present GOP candidates and a number of potential candidates can whip BO’s backside. He is a one-term President, barring some unforseen and huge eventuality.

You'll get no argument from me.

[cableguymn]

No. He does not.

I haven’t read the article and never will. When did we give the Washington Post and their politically correct writers the right to choose who and who will not be the Republican nominee?

[mort56]

And you are taking your lead from the Washington Post

[Eaker]

If he is anything like Duncan Hunter and raises a total of $50.00 and then only spends $25.00 then I say no.

Hunter’s neighbors didn’t know he was running much less anyone else.

“Does Pawlenty have what it takes to win?”

Maybe not. He allowed himself to be bullied by the CNN guy and a conservative can’t win if he runs how the press wants him (or her) to run.

[bigbob]

pfft! Even O’Bloviator knows T-Paw doesn’t have what it takes.

[pallis]

Tim won’t win.

[MattinNJ]

No.

Pawlenty seems like a nice person, more conservative and principled than Romney will ever be in his magical ten lifetimes on those bizarre planet heavens, has more executive experience than Bachmann, ten times more brains than Rick Perry will ever have, ...

But Pawlenty lacks courage. You could see it written across his face in the recent debate, and it permeates from the core of his existence. His facial expression was like that of a toddler who had just pooped his diaper.

Romney lacks principles and courage, but compensates with tremendous arrogance and deceit. That is the very definition of evil, according to the late M. Scott Peck. Romney gave us Obama, by sending forth his demon backstabbers in Autumn 2008 to sabotage the Republican campaign. Romney will destroy the USA, just as surely as Obama, and with greater efficiency.

[newzjunkey]

I’ve seen him in two debates and heard one interview. Based on that and assorted stories I’ll go with “No.” He’s a mouse. We need a lion.

[ejdrapes]

Short answer. No.
