Yet another name has been droped into the PAC game, you know those little sites that test the water for a presidential bid.
Poilitics In Minnesota is reporting:
It was only a matter of time until GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty formed a leadership political action committee to explore running for president in 2012 . The more interesting point is what he chose to name the PAC: “Freedom First.”
The naming of leadership PACs — particularly for lesser known candidates like Pawlenty — is not an inconsequential thing. The name connotes something about how the candidate views his or her candidacy, and it says a lot about the shape of the campaign the candidate means to run. Consider the names of the leadership PACs formed by the other Republicans looking to board Air Force One in January 2013. Recent Value Voters poll winner and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has “Huck PAC;” Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, “Sarah PAC;” and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, “Free and Strong America PAC.”
So the list gets longer…..everyone in the GOP is scrambling for the leadership role for the next nomination series. Is Pawlenty all in or is this just a a ploy to check to see if he is attractive to the people?
Don’t you just love the names they choose for their PACs…”free and strong America” or “Freedom First” like it is some noble endeavor they are preparing for…..there is NO nobility in politics anymore…..scumbags all.
That last line – without understanding the finer detail of what you’re talking about (being a Brit) I’ll go with that for sure 🙂
Morning Quin….not one of them is anything but a lair…i. e. a scum bag….they all try to sound som statesmanlike and none will EVER be a statesman.
