Pawlenty is quite a bit more conservative than Giuliani, and also has a spotless personal life.
Pawlenty has a likability that will persuade independents and moderates to vote for him.
Sarah Palin gains enthusiasm only among the most conservative, people who would be voting Republican anyway. Palin might make a good VP pick if she does well in the Presidential primaries but can’t defeat Pawlenty.
He'd never beat her in a Primary of Republican voters . Its only as a default candidate that he would win, and we already tried that with McCain. This time will be different; things are much more stark right now. We have some rolling back to do, to say the least.
That's the kind of reasoning that got us McCain. I met Pawlenty at a receptiion he sponsored at CPAC. I was singularly unimpressed. The GOP should reject his candidacy if they want to win.
Pawlenty is a global warming cultist. Therefore he has proven himself incapable of rational thought and should be nowhere near the White House.
