I'm not convinced that Romney and Pawlenty are different persons. Have they ever been seen together?

you are the media you consume.

Oh, they're definitely different people. Remember Mittens is part of the nobility. Daddy was a senator. Pawlenty's actually got working-class roots. Pawlenty's also at least somewhat popular in his home state, whereas Taxachusetts is still cleaning up after Mittens, who went out of his way to bash his home state in the primaries. You know how the Reps hate Massachusetts.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Re: Veep Prediction (none / 1)

I wonder what the approval rating for Paws is in Minnesota. He's the most vapid Minnesota politician to come along in my lifetime (in stark contrast to Ventura before him) with Colman a close second. All he's done in his time is use public money to get the NHL back into town and squeezed infrastructure budgets a year ahead of the bridge collapse.

Re: Veep Prediction (none / 0)

To be fair, hockey should be a big deal up there, since Minnesota is practically Canada anyway. And, as far as Pawlie is concerned, a bridge collapse in Minneapolis just means dead liberals.

You know, kind of like 9/11 in New York.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

It takes a bit more than sports to get people behind politicians in large American cities. If there were a dearth of sports options in the Twin Cities, then it might have had some importance.
