Only 1/3 of <b>Republican voters</b> in his <b>home state</b> would vote to nominate him for President.<br />That's weak, no matter how you slice it.<br /><br />It makes him a lousy choice for VP, too. It looks doubtful that he could carry his home state, which is one of the primary criteria for the slot.<br /><br />Pawlenty was elected as a centre-right moderate, and his conversion to Tea Party "tenther" wingnut came very late in his term. The conversion also coincided with polling showing that he was unlikely to win another term. He would lose, and losing is death to your career in the MN GOP. Just ask Emmer, Coleman, and Mark Kennedy (Who? He ran against Klobuchar). <br /><br />So, Pawlenty really had nothing to lose by running for President. It was that, or the political dustbin. He's gambling with other peoples' money. If he drops out, he won't have technically "lost", and he can settle into a gig at FNC. Later, he can write a book and blog for Breitbart. <br /><br />It's better than Emmer's current gig as a drive-time radio jock for a wingnut talk station.Todd Dugdale https://www.blogger.com/profile/17584727904734922884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-14504444887756243602011-06-03T15:01:23.589-05:002011-06-03T15:01:23.589-05:00Gingrinch needs to drop out.Gingrinch needs to drop out.Kevinnoreply@blogger.com
