Tim Pawlenty is someone to watch.

He's the one with the momentum right now. Today the former Gov. of AL, Sonny Perdue, signed onto his campaign. Can someone tell me why, as a Conservative, I should NOT like Pawlenty? Seriously.

"Today the former Gov. of AL, Sonny Perdue, signed onto his campaign."

That's where Pawlenty needs to go, build strength in the South. With Barbour out and Gingrich withering and Cain making silly talk about "no laws over 3 pages long," the South is now THE delegate-rich region with no effective homeboy in the race.

He’s had some flirtations with global warming and I’m not fully convinced that he’s capable of making the changes we need to fix the mess we’re in, but there’s nothing overtly wrong with Pawlenty. If you can stay awake while doing it, by all means, watch away! :)

I’ll give you one reason... Pawlenty sat back and allowed the MN DFL to steal the Senate seat for Al Franken. How about another... was his pull and influence so strong that did he leave the state in the hands of a solid Republican successor ? Nope. The Franken clone, the imbecilic, rich Socialist nutjob ex-Senator who hid under his desk during 9/11, Mark Dayton, now occupies his office. Yeah, that’s two real great accomplishments.

BTW, Sonny Perdue is the former Governor of Georgia.

I can’t think of any.
