Poor Timmy. Only 29 comments. Looks like your GOP star is no longer brightly shining. You've been made irrelevant by another GOP Johnny Come Lately empty suit.

Don't quit your day job, Timmy. The day you make it to the White House I will eat my laptop.

Hmmm.. . let's see: Reid brings in $2 million in the 4th quarter for a senate seat. Little Timmy Pawlenty brings in $1.2 million in the 4th quarter for a presidential run. . . doesn't seem like enough dough to me. . .

When it had become clear that Democrat Al Franken had earned the Senate Seat after Franken won the Election following the Minnesota recount and was declared the winner by the Commission headed by the Secretary of State; the results weren't good enough for Tim Pawlenty. While the matter headed for the Courts; Pawlenty kept the Seat vacant rather than appoint a Democrat to help form the Emergency Legislation the Country needed passed. With the Minnesota Seat vacant, the Senate Republicans added thousands of Earmarks to what they sent the White House for signing. Pawlenty kept Franken out of the Senate until ordered to send and seat him by the Supreme Court. By then, the damage was done. Focused on his own career and abandoning his constituents; Minnesota suffered getting Stimulus funds and those dependent on good Government to produce jobs got laid-off because the GOP owned their Governor whose new campaign slogan echoed a Hollywood movie quote. "Show me the Money!"

Not enough Mullet Man. $1.2 million is pocket change for Palin's PAC. She's in the catbird seat. Visibility on FOX. Stable of ghost writers banging out drivel on a regular basis at $28 per book. $100,000 speaking engagements. She's a franchise. You're Tim Pawlenty, a pinwheel. The guy everyone interviews - not to ask about you - but to ask about Palin's potential run for President. Start getting ready for walleye season. You're not going anywhere.

LOL! Still, it's dangerous to misunderestimate the Mn Governor. He's about as close to sane as Republicans get ... surely closer, compared to the Palin's Boehner's, Cornyn's, Limbaughs out there representing Republican thought

Having gotten into politics within the last 3 years, I have become disillusioned with the fact that there are really no liberals in our Senate and few in our House. That said, the votes in Mass has also convinced me that the American public is pretty s.tupid. I fear that my faith in our democracy will crash to an all time low if a Republican President is put into office after Obama. That will be the utter evidence of a country full of fools.

And it should be noted that he has made more then a few trips to China to meet with Chinese businessmen. Wonder how much money he'll soak them for with the new Supreme Court ruling on campaign money?
This guy just had a court ruling go against him for trying to cut funding to the poorest of the poor so he could give his rich buddies tax breaks! Ya, he's a real Christian!

That's right! And some chinese corporation will come in and pay for his campaign advertising, no doubt.

He only got in becuase of a strong Indepenant Canidate. He only recieved 46% of the vote. SO, more people did vote against him.
