Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty waded into the politics of a New York special election for the U.S. House Monday by endorsing a Conservative Party candidate over the Republican candidate.

In a statement endorsing Conservatives' Doug Hoffman over GOP Assemblywoman DeDe Scozzafava, Pawlenty said, "We cannot send more politicians to Washington who wear the Republican jersey on the campaign trail, but then vote like Democrats in Congress."

He may see the writing on the wall and wants to be on the right side of history.

McCain wannabe.

He is McCain at heart, but he is a Palin wannabe in popularity.

Pawlenty is seeing the trend, which is what we want our political party to see. He sees we want the “conservative” party to act like conservatives, so that’s what you’re seeing.

Pity he didn’t wade into Minnesota politics and keep that commie MF Franken from stealing the election.

Will Pawlenty’s leaping in front of the grassroots rejection of Scuzzyfava fool everyone into believing he isn’t a RINO, too?

Living next door in Wisconsin, we hear lots of talk about how he’s just another rino in sheeps clothing. Beware, he might be trying for the cocktail circuit in DC. Plus, he partnered with Diamond Jim Doyle for a co-op light rail between WI and MN. Just saying........

This is pure CYA politics. Pawlenty has all the leadership of a caboose.

Pawlenty is a smart guy. Samrt enough to know that peeing into the wind leaves you urine soaked at any rate.

Adding to what’s posted about him here, RINO Pawlenty is also as exciting as watching paint dry.

There’s a big difference between the two. Pawlenty is a good man.
