Palin Wins. Pawlenty Fails.

“That is disappointing and further bolsters the Pawlenty stereotype as milquetoast establishment.”

Finger in the wind.

I sure hope Sarah Palin’s endorsement causes a splash. Conservatives who are paying attention to conservative radio the past few days, or conservative leaders like Sarah and Fred will know who to vote for.

RedInABleuState

No way the media can avoid this race now. Hope their servers are ready for it.

Big, big move by Sarah. She stepped into the leadership vacuum and ..

I will NOT vote for anyone in 2012 who is not standing up for us NOW when it’s the most important…in my mind, there are only three candidates that should even be considered…Sarah Palin, Liz Cheney and Governor Perry. The Repubs out there now are now going to swoop in near the end after being silent all this time. NO WAY.

No better time to start fighting then right now

Sorry, but… WTF?

“I just don?t know anything about it. I haven?t taken the time to study their positions, their records, so I haven?t taken a position on it.?

Mr Pawlenty, there is but one congressional election going on right now and it is one where the fault lines are quite clear when it comes to conservativism vs. the establishment. How can you NOT be aware of the situation on the ground if you purport to run a leadership PAC to support true conservatives?

My read: he’s either clueless or ball-less, and either way his position as a serious player in the conservative resurgence is to be questioned.

I pity anybody who ever for one second thought that Tim Pawlenty was worth a damn.

I don’t particularly like or trust Palin but at least she’s useful. Hopefully we’ll now finally get to see just how much so.

http://www.suvstrategery.blogspot.com SoFiMil

Not so much as in raising Palin’s stock, but more so in terms of lowering Pawlenty’s. This certainly doesn’t help the MN Governor build momentum.

His position as a “conservative” and a “serious player” has always been in question.

And, though I supported Romney last time and still like him, I will support Sarah. He is the only one with, as you say, the wherewithall to stand up and fill the leadership vacuum. God bless her. Let’s get busy so we can elect her.

cwilson

I think even the anti-Palin crowd could go along with that assessment, like Lincoln’s of Grant. And like Lincoln, we need fighters.

Worry about 2010 first. I predict whoever is the candidate for 2012 isn’t even on the radar yet.

Sometimes, when your team is in the middle of a losing streak, you need a few calls to go your way. It seems like that is happening. In Florida, the polls are showing Rubio taking a bite out of Crist, and Charie has got nowhere to run and hide. In Virginia, McDonnell and Co. are already takin’ names. In New Jersey, the new info implying Corzine corruption, may help Christie hang on. (Not that Christie is a pillar of Conservatism, but he is pretty solid for Jersey). And now this in New York. Sarah’s got great timing. Now we just need a WIlliams appointment from down here in Texas.

mbecker908

getting elected personally and then running anything are two totally different and mutually exclusive things.

redneck_hippie

donation figures and whether there is a discernable effect on the money side; before Palin (BP) vs after Palin. Should be a healthy bump up I would say, considering FredPAC is in as well.

Third Street

Not after her cut-and-run stunt. I’m tired of being made to feel a chump, by standing up for people who ultimately won’t stand up for themselves.

But if Palin can help Doug Hoffman get elected then she’ll have finally proven some tangible usefulness to the GOP, though any candidacy of her own would be deadly.

sybilll

on Hoffman. I donated last night, but, Facebook, Freep, and countless others are on fire for donations to Hoffman. If this is not record breaking, I will be shocked.

mbecker908

And I agree with you last paragraph. I do think she can be useful raising money and as an exciting stump speaker. I also think she can help specific candidates and Hoffman may well be one of them. Marco Rubio may be another.

Hooah_Mac

At this point, Hoffman will not fail for lack of resources.

That said…Give him more.

redneck_hippie

Grassroots money is going to determine a bunch of races. I’m just waiting for the rinos to don conservative clothes.

jeffreywturner

However, I suspect you are wrong in WHO it would be deadly to.

It would be deadly to any other Republican wishing to become President that year, as well as whatever Democrat is unfortunate enough to be nominated to run against her.

There are millions of conservative Christian women in America for the left to hate, the reason they have focused so much of their hatred on Palin is F-E-A-R.

redneck_hippie

To quote a learned constitutional scholar, Nobel prize winning head of state and paragon of humility:

“I’m not tired. I’m just getting started. I’m feeling refreshed!!!!!”

ceili_dancer

Once you get it started it could take on a life of its own. The big momentum shift is happening, I can feel it. Like Leopold says, the turnover causes a quicker step and a harder hit.

sapwolf

What is the story on Medina?

Is she the real deal?

Assuming that Perry is just using conservative rhetoric, could Medina threaten to take votes away or steal the conservative ground from Perry?

I was in a discussion with another person on anther blog and her name was thrown out there.

MacAoidh

…the finger in the wind would tell you to jump out on the Hoffman bandwagon and throw in behind the underdog. If you can’t help pull him across the finish line you’re at least fighting the good fight.

To waffle on this race is to show that you have neither convictions nor a sense of when you can get away with taking a strong stand when it’s easy to do so.

Pawlenty is a puss. He’s a cabinet secretary-grady politician and he can probably make the trains run on time, but we need a guy with a big set. He ain’t got ‘em.

MacAoidh

…and he spit the bit.

We need Fred’s help, but he missed his moment.

MacAoidh

…I take your point, but someone who is willing to fight the fight is someone who may be qualified to carry our standard in the White House.

I am not saying Palin is that person. Her actions in NY-23, however, lend her more credence than any of the other GOP hopefuls to date who have made no move. Newt went for Scozzafava, which was a total disgrace.

He should’ve taken a stand. Too late now.

hoosierdad

Criminy, if Pawlenty would just spend a few minutes a day checking out RedState, other blogs, or just good old political news websites, he would be up to speed on this. Yeh, this shows he is utterly clueless.

jen2001

I am watching the Wake County BOE race, and we had the NAACP rally 1000 voters calling racism on the process and filing suit to continue a run-off against a republican candidate yesterday. There is still corruption and fraud rampant in the process, and the democrats/socialists are going to pull out anything they can. I am absolutely sure our situation has caught DC’s attention.

archer52

You can tell by looking at him he is a nice sincere guy who has a spine as thick as a spaghetti noodle. He is worried if he jumps the ship here and backs Hoffmann (who is NOT a Republican remember) that will come back to bite him in 2011 during the primaries.

He’s a good solid slightly to the center Republican. It isn’t his job to support another party’s candidate. His job is to run for President in 2011 and hopefully win in 2012.

That’s just the facts.

Palin, on the other hand, is trying something new and I hope the best for her. We’ll see in time how the two different approaches work out.

DaMav

Wants us to think he doesn’t know anything about one of the hottest issues amongst conservatives in the country right now? The blogosphere is full of articles about this race, from KOS to Red State to Hot Air. Even the Wall Street Journal had a piece as I recall.

Pawlenty does himself no favors serving up a “huh?” piece of BS. He’d have been better off taking a stand one way or another or saying he was going to remain neutral based on blah blah blah. If he’s that far out of touch that he doesn’t inform himself on an issue this important to the base…. says a lot.

izoneguy

because he wants the money & backing from the same failed groups behind Dede Scozzafava. Pawlenty is showing his hand and he has nothing. Wasting time & money on Pawlenty is just that…….

gator_hoo

Red flags went up when he basically adopted McCain’s staffers whole cloth. This only confirms that he isn’t the type of candidate we want.

erod

answer is D. All of the Above. Before Palin I thought guys like Pawlenty, Romney and Huckabee would be a good choice, but it’s kind of hard to back guys like this when there is a true conservative out there willing to bat for us and take a stand. Palin has what it takes she is unlike any politician I have seen. I was too young to experience Regan first hand, but I imagine she is very close to what he was. I hope Hoffman wins this race if he does it further solidifies Sarah’s influence and power with the conservative base.

Anyone can be FRED! if they have the right ideas.

treeofliberty

Personally I never understood the appeal of Pawlenty. No passion, no gravitas, no presence just a big void. Nominating him (which is unimaginable to me) would be a disaster for the party.

Honestly I couldn’t have said it better myself: He has “cabinet secretary” written all over him, not a national leading figure that is going to inspire the base and take on Obama and the leftist media.

http://www.bearcreekledger.com toni100

That’s who is and always has been. Back in 2002 Pawlenty was going to run for the Senate and Coleman (who had just lost a run for governor against Jesse Ventura (gag) and Skippy Humphrey ) was also running in the primary. So Bush and Rove interfered asking Pawlenty step out of the race for Coleman. Coleman won, then Pawlenty ran for Gov in 2004. Bush and Rove took the choice away from Minnesotans. Pawlenty went along to get the backing of the National Party. It was under his governance that MN elected an ACORN Secretary of State candidate which drove the illegal voting to elect Al Francken defeating Coleman.

The Democrats would love for the GOP to have the bland, go along to get along, Pawlenty as a candidate in 2012.

Calling Tim Pawlenty miquetost establishment tells me that people who’ve watched him from afar don’t have a clue about him. While I won’t defend him for not taking a stand on NY-23, I’ll be more than happy to defend his record of fiscal discipline & reform.

Unlike Govs. Romney & Huckabee, Pawlenty’s record on fiscal discipline is solid & his health care accomplishments have actually kept public employee union insurance premiums FLAT 3 of the last 5 years.

Follow this link if you want a real taste of Gov. Pawlenty’s event. Watch the videos & then tell me that he’s milquetoast anything.

One thing people will notice about the Sarah Pixie Dust effect?

$116, 000.00 raised since the rumors that she was going to announce surfaced yesterday.

Since yesterday, when the Palin Rumors first surfaced?

Hoffman’s Campaign took in $116,000.00 in one day.

Don’t tell me that Palin didn’t have an effect.

Other 2010 Cycle Republicans are going to see this and are going to get on the phone to Robert Bennett and Meg Stapleton as fast as they can.

They want that Pixie Dust.

The tough call for Sarah remains Crist/Rubio, however. Charlie was a perfect gentleman to her last year, but her principles tell her to support Marco.

Especially now that Huck has already gone into Marco’s corner.

$peciallist

(word of the day)

gonzo55

of “socialism-lite”, a far left liberal democrat who just happens to be running as a republican. If this is the best kind of candidate our Northern brethren can attract, I say cut them loose and run people with the courage of their convictions, even if it means running against liberal North and Northeastern republicans.

aesthete

However, I can’t believe how many people have come out to make claims to the effect of “Tim Pawlenty is a socialist, Sarah Palin is our white knight”, when neither of those statements are particularly true. I’m glad that Palin has stepped up to the plate in stumping for Hoffman, and am disappointed (read: p***ed) that Pawlenty has chosen to go linguini spine on us on this race as well, but do we really have to paint Pawlenty as some sort of evil socialist-lite/McCain-like figure on that alone, without any proof? While we’re on the subject, do we really have to further extend the Palin mythos, where she is painted as some sort of conservative crusader who cleansed AK of the eeeevil corrupt Republicans and brought justice to the land? It does the given politicians, the conservative movement, and Redstate no good when we make hyperbolic claims of that nature.

Illinicon

I doubt she will be siding with Charlie “the only GOP governor to support the stimulus” Crist, since her endorsement of Hoffman was based on him being a strong opponet of the fiscal insanity going on in Washington now. My guess is she will endorse Rubio sometime after her book tour.

Conservatives roar; Republicans tremble

and correct me if I’m wrong…but wasn’t he one of the, “Era Of Reagan Is Over” Chorus last year?

He’s a loser and is very much an establishment Republican…Just ask John McCain…He’s Johny Mack’s favorite Republican

AceInTX

I had some real issues with him on the Trans Texas Corridor but he was a rock when it came to keeping a balanced budget without raising taxes in the 2000 recession…and Texas is the only state I know of off the top of my head that currently has a positive growth rate in the nation.

I know he’s very pro life and pro family values…

would I support him for Prez right out of the gate? I’m not sure at the moment….I currently have others in front of him…but I’d aggressively support him should he decide to run and win the nomination…and I could see myself supporting him right out of the gate if my other choices stumble in the next couple years.

AceInTX

based on what I know about him…I think he’s with the establishment on this but doesn’t want to endorse Scazoffava so the next best thing is to feign ignorance and refuse to answer questions about it.

redneck_hippie

spoke for those of us who know what big government is and want to defeat it. His message is as uncomplicated as our founding documents. Sad that it is taking a clownish thug to demonstrate what our country has been reduced to: a cult of personality and the worship of myths.

janis

But it had to take an Obama to make the wisdom that is Fred! look so much more appealing to so many who dismissed his message as dull and old-fashioned and out of touch. He spoke of the hard truths that so many are now learning the hardest way. What’s so tragic is that it’s going to have to get so much worse before we have any chance of making it better.

BlackConservative

And I for one, immediately withdraw my early endorsement of him, and am in full agreement with you that Pawlenty is nothing more than the establishment candidate, a McCain in conservative clothing. But when it really comes down to it, it becomes quite plain that the wanna be conservative emperor has no clothes, and needless to say, no huevos to stand up for the conservativism he claimed to start his PAC for. Let him burn with the rest of the party that doesn’t get it.

AceInTX

I’ve got my ear to the ground here in Texas…and I’m getting increasingly worried that Kay is gonna pull a last minute switch on us and deside to run for Senate again…this isn’t the first time she’s made noises about running for governor which got things moving…candidates announcing…campaigns starting up…only to decide at the last minute not to give up her seat.

I did work for a campaign finding office space for the candidate, (his name escapes me at the moment) pro bono in San Antonio who was getting ready to run for Bonilla’s seat because Bonilla was expected to run for Kay’s seat in the Senate if she challenged Perry a couple years ago…she pulled out of the deal pissing off everyone down the line who had done all that work based on her signal.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see her pull the same crap this time…She’s STILL keeping a tight lip about her “retirement” from the Senate and is suddenly playing coy…

time will tell

AceInTX

if he really is that ignorant…he’s proving himself to be to out of touch to even think of running for POTUS…I don’t know what it says about his staff if they’ve allowed him to be that in the dark on it.

He knows about this race…and he’s with the party bosses on it…he’s just playing dumb so he doesn’t make conservatives mad…

Has anyone seen the article out yesterday about the “tests” that were done on men that voted for McCain. The results showed that those that did had low testosterone levels before the vote and after the vote, or something like that. One of the comments after the article was from a guy that said “his boys were fine, he voted for Palin.” I think those facts were first reported on ABC.

He can go work for the DNC in 2010. Oh wait…..

This guy was professional, understanding, and well versed. We really need people like him making these calls. Unfortunately, when you are calling to sell a product to a list of people that have already demonstrated that they don’t want the features you offer, it makes the job pretty tough.

On the other hand, he is still getting paid…which makes him better off than what the DNC has done to many of us with the passive assistance of the RNC.

for us? He could make calls to the Republican party “leaders” and sell them on our ideas and ideals. Probably as tough a job as the one he’s doing now.

marymom

and go listen — then donate — to the Independent Expenditure radio ads, one on www.minutemanpac.com and one on www.LifeandLibertyPAC.com airing to help Doug Hoffman.

They have been running in NY 23, along with a pro-Hoffman ad that Eagle Forum PAC cut.

All these citizen PACs need to raise small-donor contributions to keep buying more ad time through November 3. They can say things about all three candidates best NOT said by the Hoffman campaign itself.

This race is a huge test of grassroots seriousness and muscle; if we want to turn the GOP off its pitiful path of me-too liberalism, we MUST win its attention and respect by playing some hardball politics. Come on conservatives, LET’S WIN!

AceInTX

the imminent domain issues they raise…and he came off kind of crass when confronted on some fundamental issues…so It could hurt him on a national scale IMHO I guess it would depend more on the opposition and how effective they would be communicating the issues.

The is one instance I can think of where a Rancher would have had his ranch cut in half by the corridor and it would require him to travel 100 miles to the nearest overpass to get from one side of his ranch to another…There are two ways of thinking about that I suppose…either it wouldn’t matter to most Americans because a 10000 acre ranch is so incomprehensible to most Americans…but on the other hand…thinking about a Rancher having to truch their cattle over 100 miles to get them from one pasture to another and a governor giving the guy the back of his hand could resonate.

I supported the TTC to a point because it has opened up an inland port possibility in San Antonio…but I have problems with it because stuff could unload in Corpus Christi and off the coast pots…or cross the border and shoot straight up to OKC without any customs or trade regulation at all which would cause some pretty serious security and competition issues in my mind. that could cut against Perry as well

I think he’d be a good candidate…but the unknowns I describe here is one of the reasons he’s not #1 on my list

http://impudent.blognation.us/blog kyle8

I have slowly come around on Rick Perry from near loathing to halfhearted sorta kinda support. I don’t know if that is due to an appreciation of his merits or the total lack of any real conservative leadership.

I do like the fact that he is a Boy Scout. Hey Did you know who is the chief international scoutmaster ? Bear Grillz, that weird man vs nature guy.

http://impudent.blognation.us/blog kyle8

actually I think he is just another slick politician who has moved to the right since he was smart enough to recognize that there was a vacuum in that area.

Goddamn I have become so cynical.

Tbone

Yep, a spade IS a spade.

“do we really have to further extend the Palin mythos, where she is painted as some sort of conservative crusader ”

See above.

gonzo55

has a chance to nontrivially affect an important house race that otherwise is likely to go to the democrats. Tis means one more vote for surrender abroad, higher taxes, and this holocaust of a health care plan. There were plenty of otherwise acceptable politicians who stood by and said nothing when Hitler assumed power, and who continued to stand by and do nothing when he bagan to exterminate entire races of people, and now there are people who stand by and do nothing (I’m talking about Pawlenty) while Fuhrer Obama sets up his own Holocaust of a health care bill. Step up and be a man, Tim, even if it there is a small chance it will politically hurt you!

aesthete

Is Pawlenty a spineless worm? Sure, I can go for that. Has Palin apparently found the GOP’s secret stash of cajones and used them (and then some)? I don’t know, but it would explain a few things

But that’s different than saying that Pawlenty is a socialist, or that Palin is the penultimate conservative: judging by their records, Pawlenty has done a fair amount to curtail government spending, and Palin did little in her two years in AK besides spend a bunch of cash and windfall-tax oil companies.

aesthete

That’s different than saying that he’s a socialist, though.

gonzo55

Is he a socialist in the sense that Dear Leader is? No, of course not. Is he a lot closer to that than I care to have in any presidential candidate, much less a “conservative” one? Absolutely. It’s all semantics beyond that.

aesthete

His record is pretty decent, and he did a decent job at getting Minnesota out of the mess that Ventura got it into. That said, he’s too mild and non-confrontational for me to trust that he will use the bully pulpit effectively, so I’m not too crazy about him as a presidential candidate.

gonzo55

he seems competent enough. As long as we have a real conservative like Palin ultimately calling the shots.

AHALgal

There are only three words that say it all for Tim Pawlenty.

Cap and Tax.

gonzo55

went down when I voted for McCain, but I knew he was going to lose as soon as Romney withdrew at CPAC.

AceInTX

he’s the real deal IMHO…The TTC was an issue for a lot of us but the plus that can be taken from that is that he’s willing to take an unpopular stand for what he thinks is right…though I would argue he was wrong on several points concerning it.

He’s socially Conservative in the Small Government federalist kind of way and he’s also been a rock on Immigration bucking not only Obama…but W as well…

As I say…I’m not ready to lead the charge for him because I have two others in front of him…not because I like them better…but because I haven’t really given him much thought as a POTUS candidatebut I know we could do a lot worse considering who else we have to choose from.

Richard Mullins

and that has nothing to do with the lack of Conservatives right now. It has to do with some promotion of the state as far as getting more business. Really, there isn’t much to make him not be re-elected unless of course you think that the new Story du jour of Carl Lee Willingham and his execution 5 years ago is enough to knock him out. BTW, the TTC thing is as dead as a door nail and after November 3rd, it would be down right impossible to implement. Also, I’m now really in favor of Toll roads. You heard me, I like them but the reason is to use the excess to keep roads fixed without dipping into the Road fund.

The left is scared sh*tless of Sarah Palin. That’s more than enough reason to endorse her IMHO

Warrior

Alaska with Minnesota or any other state. With a population of 686,293, it’s smaller than many average size cities. And with a land area of 571,951 sq miles (1.1 person per sq mi) containing one of the largest oil reserves in the world, it is not surprising that the Governor would be in a position to spend money on the population.

And the so-called “windfall-tax” was used to help Alaskan citizens offset the soaring fuel prices up there. Besides, Alaska has been spending far more on oil development infrastructure than she has been getting back. Gov. Palin states candidly:

“The state of Alaska is currently the largest investor on the North Slope, having paid for 50 percent of all investments in 2007. Yet our share of net revenue, including royalties, property and corporate income tax, was about 40 percent. The “equitable share” component in ACES narrows this gap…”

As for Gov Palin having “done little” in her two years – it is simply false. She stood up to the GOP power brokers and told them “NO!” She fought against the very corruption we now see entrenched in the WH and which ultimately forced her to resign or go bankrupt fighting an array of bogus ethics charges.

She is EXACTLY the kind of person we need and she sees a kindred soul in Doug Hoffman. That’s why she’s backing him.

Palin in ’12 !

AceInTX

Why you would set up toll roads and allow private companies keep the toll money doesn’t make sense to me…but that’s another discussion.

as for TTC…I know it’s dead…but that doesn’t change the negatives Perry earned during the fight…I personally, it’s not a deal breaker for me but I doubt it would be for most but it could still hurt him.

As I say…I’ve not seriously considered him or where I’d stand if he decided to run in relation to the rest of the field…I’m discussing him because I was asked about him and as far as his position as a governor I’d definitely vote for him again. As Pres…we’ll see if he decides to run

http://impudent.blognation.us/blog kyle8

sometime after they have paid for themselves the tolls should end.

Like I said about Rick. I guess he is OK, I like what he says, but something about him I just can’t trust.
