He showed very little moxie and came accross as quite frankly boring. He then decided that it was his duty to take out Bachman. The problem is that politics aside, Bachman has "it" which is the ability to come accross articulately and forcefully. She'll now have to deal the the forceful engine that is Rick Perry, but people constantly bet against her, but I wouldn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-74165812923720725472011-08-14T19:41:16.079-05:002011-08-14T19:41:16.079-05:00Totally agree, D.
To second Brad's comment, I...Totally agree, D.<br /><br />To second Brad's comment, I was frustrated by this "TPaw is a RINO" sort of garbage that many MN conservatives (especially the blogging class) threw out - especially once Bachmann got in.<br /><br />Was I thrilled with every single thing Pawlenty did while in office? No, but I liked the vast majority of what he did and he definitely turned the state's political conversation towards conservatism. Maybe if the base assumed Obama was stronger, they'd be more willing to listen to TPaw's narrative. Oh, well...Pawlenty always wanted to run for Senate back in 2002 - maybe in four years he'll get his chance.First Ringernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-44715118725653974782011-08-14T11:21:46.868-05:002011-08-14T11:21:46.868-05:00his problem is a lack of overt masculinity.his problem is a lack of overt masculinity.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-45082671211207342692011-08-14T10:53:09.215-05:002011-08-14T10:53:09.215-05:00It seems a lot of our MN conservative friends stil...It seems a lot of our MN conservative friends still cast T-Paw in a negative light. It's never made a lot of sense to me, since his record would indicate he maximized his ability to govern in his second term despite facing large DFL majorities in both legislative chambers. In that situation, the pragmatic approach seemed to be the only option.Brad Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443466836095058736noreply@blogger.com
