   I’m hardly an expert on Gov Pawlenty and MN so I don’t know if I’m being unfair to him, but where the deuce was he during the Al Franken ballot circus? It is my understanding that not only were there beaucoup felons on the rolls but that a fair number of precincts ended up with more ballots than voters (This is caused by the Wandering Sack of Dem ballots that makes appearances in close races across the country. One of them showed up in VA 11 I believe) I saw him on TV multiple times while this was going on but didn’t hear a peep out of him. Nor apparently did he do anything in his years as Gov to try and forestall the usual Dem dirty tricks. I am getting very tired with these lazy Repub politicians who suddenly feel the urge to fly AF 1. If I have wronged the man someone please provide the details.

   Isn’t this video just part of his “buy my new book” sales pitch?

   You could think of it that way… or you could see it as a rollout for a presidential bid.

   I feel that this, “We are Americans. We get it done” message has a larger chance to play well with the public in 2012, over say the “We are Conservatives. Get out of the way” message in 2010.

   Well well Venu

   Where were you with the Dems “We are leftists. You ride in the back of the bus and shut up” message 1n 2009 and 2010? BTW that was a very interesting statement for Pres Obama to make all things considered wasn’t it?

   Incidentally I never heard the Republicans make the statement “Get out of the Way”. I’m sure plenty of Dems have said that though.

   Yes, we are Americans with a certain DNA. We are visionaries, risk takers, pilgrims, conquerors of difficulties. Do you feel free and can you sleep real good at night when you owe more than you bring in and own more than you can pay? Let’s get our economy on the right track before we rest on our past accolades.
