With apologies to Peter Bergman, from whom I stole the title. He doesn’t think T-Paw has a prayer with the teabaggers. His reasoning:
That leaves T-Paw, who’s done his damnedest to kiss the Tea Party’s ring. He’s performed his mea culpas for protecting the environment, and is parroting the cant of draconian budget cuts and tax relief for the rich. But it won’t be enough. Pawlenty, bless his beige, Minnesota persona, isn’t crazy enough for the Tea Party. If they can’t convince Bachmann or Palin to lead a third party, they’ll write them in, or do whatever they can to spoil the GOP’s chances in 2012, and perhaps for decades thereafter.
