He may have dropped out of the running for the presidency, but Tim Pawlenty isn't sitting on the sidelines - the former presidential candidate has endorsed Mitt Romney for president...
"There's one candidate in this race who's unmatched in his skills and experience and talent when it comes to turning around this economy and growing jobs, and that's Mitt Romney," Pawlenty said. "I believe he's going to be our party's nominee, and I think he's going to be a transformational and great president for this country."
Romney's private sector experience, Pawlenty said, was a deciding factor in his endorsement, along with his policy experience.
"Uniquely, Mitt Romeny, in this race, has a depth and scope of private sector experience - as an entrepreneur, as somebody who's invested in, and started, and grown businesses - and importantly, grown jobs," Pawlenty said. "His experience in the private sector amongst these candidates is unmatched." …
"I'm not going to consider being VP - I was down that path once before, with John McCain, and I'm not even going to consider that," Pawlenty said. ...

Is anyone surprised ???
sore loserman
so, one mini romney endorses Romney, its a bit like a liberal in massachussets endorsing obamacare.
/s
I think that Romney is one of the few Republicans who could lose to Obama. Romney’s support is an illusion created by money and the media.
RINO axis
choosing between Romney and Obama gives you no choice, they are both of similar types. i want a distinct choice not two sides of the same coin.
Translation: "Pick me, pick me, over here, pick me!"
I expect this announcement to be met with all the enthusiasm that the Tim Pawlenty campaign generated.
Who is Tim Pawlenty?
“Mitt Romney, in this race, has a depth and scope of private sector experience - as an entrepreneur, as somebody who’s invested in, and started, and grown businesses - and importantly, grown jobs,” Pawlenty said”
Mitt is going to spend $12 million expanding his California beach house...so yessir, he is a model of private sector success for the rest of us. All I know of Mitt Romney is, he is always running for President and he is from Michigan/Massachusetts/California
When was the last time this guy packed his lunch and went to work? Or hired someone besides campaign staff or a remodeling contractor or a gardener?
Do you think T-Paw is groveling for VP?
A bucket of foamy spit and and a side order of warm spit, take the GOP nomination?
Who?
The endorsement is the equivalent of throwing a fly at the windscreen of an SUV.
These people have been the death of the Republican Party.
Let’s hope and pray they’re not also the death of the republic.
Pawlenty throwing his huge political capital and his vast voter support behing Romney.
(do I even need a sarc tag?)
Behind that is
Its an alpha male candidate thing for Pawlenty...
“Is anyone surprised ???”
No big surprise here. He endorsed McLame 4 years ago and wanted badly to be his VP pick. Being from MN, I would say T-Paw’s about as conservative as a MN governor could be and get elected, which doesn’t say much. And, that’s probably the exact same case with Romney. They are both RINOs and cut out of the same cloth.
Sadly though MN is likely precommitted to Obama no matter who does what.
