Former Minnesota governor and potential candidate for President in 2012, Tim Pawlenty, appeared on the Daily Show last night. The interview, including the portion that didn't air, is here.
I don't agree with him on much policy, of course, but I think he deserves consideration from Republicans who want a serious candidate. He's smart; he's experienced; he's articulate; he's a true believer in a conservative economic philosophy without emphasizing a socially "conservative" agenda.

You forgot "smarmy" and "transparent". Or is it just me...
Rich - compared to whom? Boehner? Palin? The bar for smarmy for politicians - and I would say especially Republicans in the current era -- is pretty low.
It sure is low. He appears to be positioning himself as the "sensible" Republican, i.e. someone who can form cohesive thoughts and use polysyllabic words to articulate them. He doesn't have a lot of competition.
All I saw in that interview was someone in deep denial.
Polywhat?
