Good news for Pawlenty if the Establishment forces him to run; I hope he runs (If GOP doesn't get Jeb/Christie-Kasich), he polls closer to her. He could take MN into the red column.
I can only imagine your giddiness when you saw those numbers.
Pawlenty was so soothing that he put the 2012 primary voters to sleep.
Why can't we elect a bore as President? Shouldn't we seek our excitement somewhere other than in politics -- maybe in white-water rafting or in sky-diving? 'Boring' is bad in visual design and entertainment, to be sure. That said, if I am a passenger in a car, I prefer to not get much excitement from someone's driving. If I fall asleep in a passenger seat, then that is fine. Just think: I fell asleep on an Amtrak train for most of the route between Denver and Lincoln From what I understand, such is just as well.
If we have a genuine danger, I would expect that an appeal of airtight logic is better than an impassioned tirade, especially if the impassioned tirade is dishonest or spiteful. How many of us think that George W. Bush was a better President than Al Gore could have been? Al Gore was boring.
