Buzz builds around Pawlenty's house

KARE 11, TV station ^

[daivid]

Helicopters buzzing overhead, satellite dishes sticking up in the air, neighbors stopping to ask -- "Is it him?"

We don't know yet.

We're swarming outside Gov. Tim Pawlenty's home in Eagan ... waiting for a sign

[pissant]

Weak choice.

[CindyDawg]

He closed more than three times higher price than Pawlenty

.Huh? Are we voting for or buying a VP?

[freekitty]

What do you mean reasonable conservative?

[Azzurri]

Did you click on the chart to enlarge it? Romney was up big-time today. He closed more than three times higher price than Pawlenty.

I'm looking at the current price on the Intrade website. I guess trading is still open after hours.

[daivid]

Look at the change in the odds at Intrade

[Westbrook]

Ugh.

At best, it’s a net gain of zero.

[Blue Turtle]

Go Mitt!

[PhiKapMom]

You are safe — it is not Romney — have that on good authority — I know who is out which leaves my tagline.

[Miss Didi]

I've been watching Intrade all day...it's fascinating. Mitt was up to 70 and Tim was in the 20’s most of the day. When it was announced that Tim cancelled his interviews, they both went to 50. After an hour it went back to 60-70 for Mitt, 20-30 for Tim. Now it's reversed. Does this trading go 24/7?

[Thane_Banquo]

Pawlenty is McCain campain co-chair. If someone were to willingly be a headfake, it would be him.

[Miss Didi]

How do you know, Mom?

[devere]

“We’re so screwed if it’s not Romney.”

Romney’s mistake was in letting McCain forget the number of Cindy’s real estate investments.

It’s nuts!

Anyway, Obama must be stopped from becoming POTUS, and McCain, warts and all, is the only man who can stop him.

[daivid]

Pawlenty needs a crash course in public speaking. If his weakness is boring delivery, that can be remedied.

I think that upper midwest is in play. The blue-collar Democrats, like my dad, never liked Obama. They are ready to be courted by McCain-Pawlenty.

My $0.02

[ken21]

this morning it was romney’s,

now how do we know this is true?

[papasmurf]

Just the opposite in the opinion of many.

[Tennessee Nana]

BTTT

[MNReaganite]

As a Minnesota Resident I am not disappointed. For the most part, he is reasonably conservative, doesnt have have the baggage of flippflopping and attacking McCain. We still have the experience issue because he’s run the state for 6 years, and I’m not sure how he’ll do in the debates but i dont think he is a lightweight. I’ve met him at the state fair before and he’s really a great and well spoken guy. Pluss he’s taken a hard line on taxes.

Just saying.

[jokyfo]

Puts MN, WI and MI in play I think.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

ROFL. Luckovitch nailed Romney with that cartoon.

[Tublecane]

“What do you mean reasonable conservative?”

Basically, Pawlenty is a McCain-ite conservative. I (being a Minnesotan) was impressed with his singular devotion to “no new taxes,” that is, until he compromised on a cigarrette “fee.” Given that he rules over a state where the press cries over the privation of budget cuts in years when there is a budget surplus, we have to give him credit. Or, we don’t have to give him credit, since the rest of his time he spends as a burgeoning environmentalist
