Pawlenty: Palin qualified to be president (GOP Debate)
The Hill ^ | June 13, 2011 | Jordan Fabian

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.

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.

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,
