I’ve never really liked Pawlenty all that much. He’s clearly in the McCain/Lindsey Graham wing of the party. His only real claim to fame is that he got elected twice in a blue state in tough years for the GOP. He may be a good guy, and I’d rather have him as MN Gov than some Democrat, but I don’t want him in the party leadership, and DEFINITELY don’t want him running for president.
Pawlenty, Crist and Arnie need to just switch parties.
That’s inside baseball, so no he didn’t.
His letting Franken get away with stealing the election (certified twice) of Norm Coleman is also not in the category of a Sarah Palin - Bobby Jindal model either.
I think the RINOs know they are being blamed (rightfully so) there is not going to be another RINO mccain clone (nor dole, nor GWBush Sr.) produced.
I also see the primary system revamped to prevent a manipulation again.
Perhaps all open primary states should be dead LAST.
