		<description>Pawlenty = Spineless weasel. Good riddance. Too bad he had to ruin the state in attempting to make himself into a GOP poster boy.</description>

		<description>Yeah, his work is done in Minnesota, after posturing himself as the stern father who needs to knock heads together and &quot;make the tough decisions alone&quot; on the state budget.

Now it&#039;s off to Washington, to convince the GOP leadership (if you can figure out who that is) that he&#039;s smarter than Palin (that won&#039;t require much effort) and prettier than her as well (after all, the male model look has always been helpful to anyone seeking the GOP nomination).</description>

		<description>I always figured he wouldn&#039;t risk blowing his presidential chances by losing a gubernatorial election. It became obvious he wasn&#039;t running when he gave the legislature and the mayors a big FU. That&#039;s the act of someone not just thinking he doesn&#039;t have to work with those people anymore, but also someone playing to GOP base that hates taxes and loves authoritarian leaders.</description>
