Jim Geraghty is hearing that the choice is Pawlenty. Please say it ain’t so. His awful on-air joke about his wife not having sex with him earlier this year shows he is not ready for prime time. His global warming advocacy was so extreme earlier this year that it turned off fellow GOP governors, quite seriously. His TV appearances have shown him to coome across as without substance and without memorability. And his statement two years ago that the era of small government is over, and that government needs to be more aggressive and proactive, is a total deal-killer for the limited-government people who STILL remain the heart and soul of the heartland GOP and of the conservative movement. Again, please say it ain’t so.
