Typically it isn't that easy to keep politcal discussions on a single issue. Perry was a bigger story then Plawenty and since there isn't a Perry post it sin't surprising that it spilled over into this thread.
Tim Pawlenty drops out of the race

I've never really gotten to know him... which kind of says enough.

Dems used to chase the evangelical vote, and the Church never should've permitted a political coup.

Huckabee didn't hide his beliefs, but also made clear he wouldn't try to legislate them.

Precisely; every Mormon you ever meet will ALWAYS insist they're Christian.

Some did want to dump him, over the toll roads and mandatory HPV vaccines for school girls.

It was 12.9%, which is pretty good for a Dem in a very red state during a very red year.

Isn't that almost the exact same numbers Obama lost by in Texas?

Roughly; are you going to pretend that 2010 was as good a year for Dems as 2008?

He was vulnerable, he only won in 06 with 39 percent of the vote *NM*

I have to agree with the take that it's symptomatic of a larger problem.

There's no "victory laurel" there. The Iowa straw poll is as irrelevant as lint in one's navel.

Largely true; it matters to people like Bachmann who need credibility, but to few others.

Just because you don't like the quote doesn't make the person citing it "left leaning".
- 15/08/2011 02:00:15 AM

It was a quote from Politico which is a left leaning news blog and the sources were unnamed

If you say so.

so you are going to just ignore the fact that your entire argument is based on unnamed sources?

Probably because I opined my impression that most of the viable GOP field looks pretty unimpressive.
