In sum, this week’s events define what Mr. Pawlenty is: a classic, fiscally conservative Midwestern Republican governor. In a period of voter discontent, Republicans have two years to decide whether that’s the right stuff for the times.
Mitt Romney? He couldn’t make the voters like him last time … Sarah Palin? She’d lose 47 states … Mike Huckabee? Better as a talk-show host … Tim Pawlenty, Jim DeMint, Bobby Jindal, David Petraeus? Too blah, too extreme, too green, and stop dreaming …
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is still unsure about running as a Republican candidate in the 2012 presidential election, but he clearly has decided his early strategy will exclude bashing Sen. John McCain and other potential hopefuls.

Yet another poll suggests that the people of Minnesota aren’t interested in seeing their governor, Tim Pawlenty, run for president in 2012.

For all the talk of Sarah Palin these days, there are two Republicans who are already laying the groundwork to run for president in 2012 — Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts.
