The only reason Pawlenty would have to do this is because he thought his support would go to Mitt when he dropped out, but they believe it actually went to Perry.
This makes great sense. I can't think of any other reason for TPaw to do this NOW. Otherwise, he would have played 'hard to get' more.
I wonder about these politicians sometimes. I guess maybe a few people might be swayed by an endorsement by someone dropping out of a race. If they are swayed, they probably shouldn’t be voting anyway.
