T-Paw, Great On Paper
Reihan considers Tim Pawlenty for 2012:
Pawlenty's greatest advantage is that the Republican field in 2012
looks fairly thin. Mitch Daniels has the strongest credentials, but he
doesn't have an obvious base. Mitt Romney has formidable financial
resources and he gained crucial experience during his 2008 presidential
bid, but, as the former governor of Massachusetts and a newly minted
pro-lifer, he has a number of liabilities. Mike Huckabee has won the
loyalty of evangelical voters, yet economic conservatives are allergic
to his brand of populism and it's not clear that he has much appeal
beyond his base. Rather depressingly, Tim Pawlenty could win the
Republican presidential nomination in 2012 simply by being the least
offensive candidate. Even if enthusiasm for Obama dies down in a few
years time, that doesn't bode well for the general election.
