Is Pawlenty the GOP Smart Choice?

A recent editorial by Stanley Kurtz asked GOP voters, "Are we really so dense — so utterly dependent on the latest news cycle — that we are going to let a major opportunity like Pawlenty slip away out of the misplaced worry that he’s got 'no name recognition?'” That's a good question. Kurtz added, "Tim Pawlenty has already got everything the GOP is looking for — with two successful gubernatorial terms worth of experience to boot. What’s not to like?" Citing his legislative victories and successful two terms in a deep blue state, the case for T-Paw seems pretty compelling. According to an article in Newsmax, Pawlenty actually has a clear path to the nomination. As the blemishes on candidates like Gingrich, Romney and Palin have made some Republicans think twice about their votes, Pawlenty may appeal to more GOP activists who want to get across the finish line first on Election Day.
