Well Steve, it looks like you’ve had your ass handed to you once again, so I’ll just say that Pawlenty has all the charisma and appeal of a mashed potato sandwich, minus the salt.
The only conservative politicians in Minnesota are moderate democrats. Pawlenty was a moderate democrat and changed party affiliation so he could run for office outside the democrat political machine. How do you spell RINO???
In Pawlenty’s favor he does like the military and visited the Minnesota National Guard unit stationed in Kosovo a couple years ago, shortly after Kosovo declared independence.
Dear Tim,
All you get in the middle of the road is run over!
Title — Can Pawlenty Win Evangelicals and Moderates (Unlike Palin and Huckabee)?
—
Ummm..., I think one sign of whether someone is thinking about running for the Office of President of the United States in the future — is — whether they talk about the “Obama birtch certificate” issue or not... :-)
Anyone who mentions that Obama needs to show his birth certificate to the public and is not a natural-born American citizen — is obviously not running for President... LOL...
This week Pawlenty blasted both RomneyCare and ObamaCare. Plus he said nice things about Palin. Pawlenty is attempting to portray himself as the conservative alternative to Romney. Pawlenty is hoping Palin supporters will flock to him should Palin decide to not to run.
Like Palin, Pawlenty was attacked by the Left. He faced down hostile DFL legislaors in budget battles. Despite the attacks, he endured the battles and served two full terms as Governor.
All you need to know about Pawlenty is Wheelock Whitney Jr. He supported Rudy in the last election. (gave some cash to McQueeg and Barry to be fair)

This evangelical is a Palin supporter.
Tim who?
I dont think a Minnesota RINO will be able to win the nom. in 2012.
Palin should run in 2012. She would win the nomination. Unlike 2008. it seems that RINOs are more interested in running, compared to conservatives.
Even if she did not win the nom. in ‘12...she is still young enough for ‘16.
If they like Cap & Trade (Ration & Tax) because Gov. Green Jeans Pawlenty is a big greenie.
Pawlenty, championed his own regional Cap & Trade. I guess he was afraid the Democrats couldn't pass it, or at least not pass it fast enough for Pawlenty, so he felt it necessary to try to do his own Cap & Trade.
Pawlenty also signed into law bills requiring energy companies to buy increasing amounts of scarce and expensive green energy. Already the energy companies in Minnesota are asking for increases to pay for their increased costs brought on by Pawlenty's foolishness.
Pawlenty? This Minnesota conservative says No Thanks!
I don’t think if Pawlenty was the GOP nominee in 2012 he would even carry Minnesota.
>The “Republican governor eyeing a presidential run in 2012” appears to be Minnesota’s Tim Pawlenty. Pawlenty used his time at yesterday’s roundtable discussion to cast himself as the “modern” Republican while casting aspersions on the traditional conservative message, calling for outreach to the “new demographics,” deriding the GOP for allegedly being 15 years behind in the use of the Internet, and calling for the party not to be led by “a crank.” Pawlenty appears to have John McCain’s penchant for attacking conservatives rather than those in the other party.
Pawlenty in Miami was publicly angry, agitated, and even cranky, possibly because he found himself at odds with the far more conservative tone of every other speaker here. Hundreds of RGA members, who paid thousands of dollars to attend this Conference, wildly applauded “red meat” conservative pronouncements by speakers and not the more moderate and conservative-jabbing words by Pawlenty.
Pawlenty is a loser!
Go Sarah!
Pawlenty is yet another RINO and the GOP presidential race in 2012 doesn’t need any more, thanks, we’ve got our limit.
