Another liberal RINO - just what we need. Sheeesh!

Big deal. Pawlenty will either dissolve his campaign before it really gets going, or will lose big in the first primary and will end the campaign. Besides, Romney will tap him to be VP if Romney wins the nomination.

But Pawlenty’s entry actually works in favor of conservatives, for the same reason a bunch of conservative candidates worked in the favor of Romney and McCain in 2008. The conservative vote was split among 2 or 3 candidates (Hunter, Thompson, Suckabee) and the result was a RINO nomination. But in 2012, if we have 1 strong conservative and 2 or 3 RINOs, the RINO vote will be split and the conservative candidate will win.

You go, big boy. Show us how to out-moderate McCain.

This loser couldn't pave a driveway with blacktop. Too bad, so sad. Go home and get a life, Timmah!

Are you going to push this guy too?

[Sabretooth]

Good, maybe he can pass higher “fees” (Theyre not tax raises!!!) and ban smoking federally too.

Welcome to Rinoville.

Someone should send him a copy of Sarah’s book and tell him to save himself the trouble...

He's certainly free to run but along with the other Rs he is just setting himself up to be embarrassed by Mrs Palin.
If the grand lady of Alaska declares her intent to seek the nomination her sweep of the primaries is a fait accompi.
