A Fine Pawlenty Intro

Posted on Comments

by Smitty (h/t Political Byline)

I’ve seen him live a couple of times, and he hasn’t disappointed. What’s intriguing about him is that he seems especially comfortable both in speech mode and, as far as I can tell, actually doing the job, as he has in Minnesota. My understanding is that he’s outmaneuvered an opposition legislature in some impressive ways. Also, the fact that he’s more of a quite than a napalm-flaming conservative may make him more acceptable to independents, and afford lower negatives than others. Being less polarizing might not be bad.

And, if he were elected and offered an inverse ideological pivot to the current POTUS, all the better.

  3. Minnesota guy here. He is very demonized here by the Dems, who are basically to the left of Kucinich, but by most national standards, he’s basically a GWB level conservative, maybe a little to the right of W, but not by much. He’s a loyal Republican rather than a Tea Party guy.

  13. No more “W” types, thanks. If he’s trying to win from “the middle” then he’s got the McCain supporters sewn up tight. And the loss.
