(Pause here for the raucous laughter to subside)

I awoke the other day and found that Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota was running for the GOP nomination of the GOP……crap!  I did not know there was any doubt…..why would you need to announce the obvious?  I guess he was waiting fore Mitch Daniels to wimp out.

Anyway, what are his chances?  If this was a normal election cycle, I would say …next to nothing….but it is NOT normal and anything goes….he has pretty much embraced a lot of the stuff the Tea party wants….and did so without conceding that they are views of the TP……He is a normal GOP candidate……an empty suit!

We do not have to worry about his personality getting in the way of his candidacy….he has NONE!

His newest video that announced his candidacy was the typical GOP video…..it did a lot of chest thumping and criticizing OBama but did NOTHING to tell the voter what his “new” and “innovated” ideas were going to be……but the video does have a really cute tag line……

“We’ve tried President Obama’s way … and his way has failed. Three years into his term, we’re no longer just running out of money. We’re running out of time,” he said. “It’s time for new leadership.  It’s time for a new approach. And it’s time for America’s president — and anyone who wants to be president — to look you in the eye and tell you the truth.”

Now, is that the lamest thing you have ever heard?  When was the last time you got the truth out of a politician?

The media is all a tither about another candidate to the field of GOP wannabes…..now they have another candidate that they can focus on and let the bat shit crazies stay on FOX……beyond all that….ALL candidates are telling me just how messed up the Obama term has been and that everything is his fault from the economy to the failed rapture….and all that may be true….the problem is that NOT one GOP candidate has told me their plan for changing things………

Just a suggestion….if you want to be president maybe you should have solid plans, other than blaming the current president…..just a thought!

BTW….does Pawlenty really have a chance at the nomination?

Tim Pawlenty’s hometown newspaper, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, ran the story of his presidential campaign announcement on the Obituary page this morning, City Pages reports.
