    Thanks for posting this. I had mentioned Blight's work in Ramon's blog. I hadn't seen the NYT today. (Hey it's a holiday).

    Pawlenty evidently not ready for primetime.  Of course, who among the GOP wannabes is?  A year or so ago I thought Pawlenty might be the most likely GOP nominee.

    Bachmann's sweet as candy

    But Pawlenty is one fine stew!

    Or

    Bachmann's bonkers

    But Pawlenty is plenty.

    My state is nuts.

    I thought Daniels or Portman were the ones to fear.

    Daniels took himself out a couple of weeks ago.  

    I was thinking Pawlenty because he wasn't well known--generally a good thing for Republicans given that they are the US's leading FUBAR party and anyone winning that nomination with a chance to win the general has to construct themselves into shape and form hitherto unobserved and unknown in this universe.  

    Plus as a Governor people will think he knows how to run something even if he doesn't.

    Really a bunch of complete jokers on that side.

    Yes...but I'm thinking of the long lead up BEFORE he took himself out.

    Zero charisma, but still a smart guy.
