In all honesty, Pawlenty seems to have benefitted from the unique state of 3rd party politics in MN. Such a dynamic is not likely in 2012. More to the point, he has no national GOP constituency, much less a basis on which to appeal to independents. Sure, he will build name recognition, and reach out to evangelicals, but against Obama, he would be crushed like a bug on a windshield. He has not the skills. But who does?
Peace.
