Thread: Newt Gingrich: Tim Pawlenty 'should run'

Politico Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, impressed with Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s recent rollout onto the national political stage, is urging him to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. “Governor Pawlenty is a terrific talent, he’s a very attractive guy and he has a good reform record,” Gingrich told POLITICO over the weekend after his speech to the annual Americans for Prosperity conference in Washington....

This is a dumb article. Newt is just being a politician here. Sometimes he exasperates me with his political gaming, like the sofa-talk with Nancy-poo on GW....oops Climate Change.

I am thinking less and less of newt. I thought fairly highly of him before he showed up on the tube with san fran nan spouting off about global warming. besides, from what I have been reading pawlenty wouldn't be my first and probably not my last choice in a candidate.
