The first loser in the 2012 run, recommends the big loser from '08.

Well that does it, the msm will talk about this for weeks or days or hours or minutes or seconds....

Will this "announcement" change a single primary vote?

Who gives a fat rat's asz?

Yep. We dodged a bullet on the RINO Pawlenty. No wonder the media jumped on his bandwagon like flies drawn to poo when he first pooped—oops—popped up.

Reminds me of Perry.

Well, it looks like both of Pawlenty’s supporters don’t have to wonder who to vote for now.

To me, it means I went way too easy on TPaw back when he was a candidate.

If, by "formally", you mean Pawlenty turned over his campaign coffers over to Romney.

As if Romney needs a hundred bucks.

"Thanks, Tim! Check your mailbox for a little gift - from me!"

...[Pawlenty at home] "Hey, hon! Did a package arrive for me from Mitt?
Mary: "I opened it - it's on your desk!"

Since Pawlenty caved on the taxpayer funded stadium in Minneapolis, maybe he can land a job with the Twins....
they’re out of the race too!

Those comments will come back to bite Mitt. People know that is not what Perry is saying. Voters don’t like deception, especially in the primary. Perry is drawing out Mitt into deep waters.

And we all thought he was going to endorse Bachmann.

Guess the price was right.

It must have been agreed to before the debate where Pawlenty "lost" any chance to win, by backing off Romenycare (no one could have made such a misstep -- Pawlenty had to have decided to retreat, as "RomneyCare would naturally be put to him).

His little comeback a couple of days after the debate was "face-saving" and maybe to get reassurances of their deal before he assured them he would embrace Romney when called to.

If Romney can't stop (or slow) Perry in Florida, he will not be able to shake the "loser" label.

How much were Pawlenty’s campaign debts before and after this endorsement?

Not sure. But it’s a good question and worth looking into.

I think, to some degree, the country, esp. the Conservative electorate but the nation in general, is ready to hear the “truth” about Social Security.

However, the main focus is jobs (which helps Perry), so Perry’s message should be a straight talking, but job-oriented, plan. Get America back to work, so that we can increase the number of taxpayers, THEN, discuss a reform plan, and make it clear.

He has the potential to win this like Reagan did - with plain talk (that the talking heads will insist until near election time is “too much”) and good, sensible plans with a patriotic approach.

However, I worry that even the couple points he lost will put primary states like FL and NH a bit out of reach where he may have had a shot before.

what say you re; Tpaw’s endorsement?

It means I will be amused when he is passed over for the veep spot...again. All the more so if he is passed over for his fellow Minnesotan.
