I don't really see what Pawlenty would add. So I'm surprised to see him as a purported frontrunner.

The conventional wisdom is that Romney is more in avoiding subtraction.  It's hard to see who would refuse to vote for the GOP ticket because of Pawlenty who already wouldn't vote for Romney.

...and he learned to speak Spanish working on a boarder ranch.

What does speaking Spanish have to do with picking a Vice President?  The idea that any VP pick will significantly help the GOP woo the Latino vote this year given the positions that Romney took in the primaries is ludicrous.

BTW, by "boarder ranch" did you mean a dude ranch where guests come for room and board as they pretend to be cowboys or a ranch that is located near the Mexican border?

Yes, those positions like:
1)stop ignoring illegal migration and 2)address the problem
...will forever cement legal Hispanic immigrants in the dem column.     

Well if people want to vote for someone who will deport illegals, then they should vote for Obama as he has a proven track record there since deportations have been at record levels these past few years, and ICE has been focusing on the serious criminals among the illegals.

So long as the GOP is paranoid delusional about the reality of immigration, it's not going to win many votes among the segments of the population that have recently immigrated here.

Yes both the illegal immigrants AND the people who want illegals deported should rightly vote for Obama.  Republicans are so delusional. 

I'd reply to this, but there are far more entertaining people on this forum who ignore facts so that they can repeat their talking points than you.
