The GOP Chairman Michael Steele has finally admitting that the Republican party doesn't like minorities. This comes after many times Steele himself said it isn't about race. America can't be divided like this and it's disgraceful.

Unless the GOP find someone other then this guy,Huckabee,Palin etc, the Democrats will have no problems keeping the WH. Also if the party of "no" continues their obstructionist ways there will be more Democrats in the House/Senate come 2010/2012.

What we the people need is a viable 3rd party.

Better he should be in New Hampshire than in Minnesota. He can do less mischief over there.

I live in MN. How nice to have a govenor who is not in the state anymore. Also, nice that he didn't raise taxes in his terms, but that is because he raised fees on everything. Automobile tabs went up 150%. Ouch. Can't wait until he is president.

To bad the repubs still haven't learned that the one thing Americans are sick of is career politicains. All the GOP needs to do to clean house next year is run citizens real people. Since 2007 and the Democrat recession started the majority began to throw the lifers out. Many didn't realize that it was the Dems in charge of spending in 07-8' they just listened to Obama and blamed Bush. When unemployment is over 12% and the debt starts to mirror California. Americans will go to vote and think P.O.orR. Pelosi Obama or Reid, for some reason I doubt it, and vote their dollars, not more change.

I wonder who is taking care of business for the state of Minnesota while this guy is "jet setting" all over the country (while on the MN payrool) trying to set himself up for a presidential run in 2012? Better yet, I wonder if the good citizens of MN are paying his travel expenses.

Until we have comprehensive election reform which takes all this money out of the equation, THIS constant electioneering will not end. True leaders would really see the light and choose to change this system. This current routine is corrupt, complicit and fake! If I caan see through this, who else can? Get together and sit down, swaallow your pride/Egos and get to listening to We The People! We are telling you we want real CHANGE! More politics as usual is turning most of us OFF! These constant manipulations as if you all are different sides of the coin is sooooooooo Transparent! Republicans play bad guy! All this fake Ideology lasts only until they pass from the Churches to the Banks-oops!, I mean pray that all these poor folks would just shut-up and stop interfereing in this RAPE of our hard-earned Money! Peace

another republican loser or losers palwlenty of this idiot its the wing nut season

The Republicans are so close to total extinction that they actually have to start campainging for an election that's still 3 YEARS away! What a bunch of clowns! GOP= The party of high comedy!

What a air head. He needs to take care of his own state.

who would pay 50 CENTS to see this schmuck?

Tim 'The Tin Man' Pawlenty, Mitt 'The Cowardly Lion' and Mike "The Scarecrow' Huckabee are off to see Lizard.

Who is running the State of Minnesota and who is paying for all these trips he's taking. I hope they aren't on the taxpayer's dime. Someone should investigate this.

Wow, only $50 to see a Republican charlatan, that's pretty cheap! Move over Sarah, Pawlenty's going bargain basement (like your "book").

tim pawlenty another corpret socialist goper . did you know that the gop beleaves in the redistribution of wealth ? oh its quite true they redistribute money from the middle class and the poor an give your hard earned tax dollers to their billion doller friends . now thats redistribution of wealth in anyones book . see thinky thinky for your self people .the party that gave us hoover , cheney an bush has lost all of its moral authority on the econmy haveing caused two great depressions in this country .

good & PAWLENTY is on a roll. Too bad it's not going to do any good. There are too many CHIEFS in the Republican Party of NO and not enough INDIANS!!! Including an Indian CHIEF-ESS – Ms. PA'IN.............. LOL

OBAMA 2012... YES WE CAN!!!

The wingnuts are predicting landslides in 2010 and 2012. If a landslide occurs that is like the congressional election in NY23 and CA that gave the democrats two more votes in congress, I can't wait for 2010.

Now isn't that something to behold!

This is another reason our political process is no longer working properly. It is 2009, and this jerk is going to start building support for a 2012 race?!? To anyone who is actually using critical thinking, this is absurd.

He should stay home and take care of Minnesota.. Or he could visit North Dakota and learn how state Government should be run.

Looking forward to Tim taking pride, like a typical wingnut, that 1.5 million veterans do not have health care.

Pawlenty has already exceeded his term limit.

$50 per person reinforces the fact that this moderate is 4 fries short of a happy meal if he thinks we will support him.

The article is wrong; he chose not to seek a third term as Governor in 2010, not his second term in 2012.

Pawlenty endorsed Hoffman in NY-23rd just like the rest of the wing-nuts! Forget him. He will do/say anything to win.

Sooooo, after listening to the GOP yammer endlessly about how Obama campaigned for 2 years, we're supposed to sit quietly while some used car salesman looking jabberwocky nonsense faucet campaigns for an entire 4 year presidential term while he's got a state to run? Sorry. We'll be making fun of Polenta as ruthlessly as can be...

Hide the children, especially the boys. A republican is coming to town, nobody is safe, especially children, when they are in town.

I would like my Governor to stay here in our state! His special trips aren't helping anyone in Minnesota.

This man is already running for president.. along with Palin Huckabee and Romney... but they can run as much as they want but at the end they will still lose come 2012...

Shouldn't he be referred to as "ex-Governor" Pawlenty? Slick Timmy spends about as much time in Minnesota these days as Sarah Palin spends in Alaska . . . and, like Alaska, Minnesota is probably better off for the change.
