Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) made the first and only mention of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), praising her and saying she is qualified to be president.
Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor, was asked who made the better choice for vice president in 2008, Obama by choosing then-Sen. Joe Biden or Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) selection of Palin.
The Minnesotan originally focused his comments on Biden, criticizing his Iraq policy, but then turned to praise Palin.
"I think Gov. Palin is a remarkable leader, she is more than qualified to be president of the United States," he said.
Palin, a potential candidate who could shake up the race, was not present for the debate and was hardly mentioned by the moderators or the candidates on stage.
i don’t know you, but i love you!!! i wish you were one of the so called “pundits” on tv panels providing commentary. everyone else is just a zombie in a vanity fair of pointlessness. i truly wonder how Palin will handle media while IN office.
here here...its so hilarious how desperate the media is to treat these people as legit contenders...its all part of continuing on in their self perpetuating cycle of denialism.
LOL what was that one word Palin used when referring to them? about the need to defund the national endowment for the arts, NPR, and other such “frivolities” in order to address thr deficit? was that the word? frilly frills? frou frou? haha something fitting like that. I love her!
I think this is an admission of the obvious. They all know she’s going to the next POTUS...
They should have shown THE UNDEFEATED to all the participants, before the debate began. That could have inspired them to perform better...
That helps Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
That is the opposite of Bachmann who is going down,
down, down, for hiring, and keeping,
Rollins-theRomneyBackstabber.
