Does anyone actually takes T-Paw seriously?
Really. Anyone?
If Huckabee and Palin don't run, their 35% in most polls has to go to someone, right?
Today's ppp poll shows that with those two out of the race, he jumps from 5% all the way up to 6%.
Love Zelig.
True, but that with two of the highest-profile candidates out of the race no one topped 24% in that poll isn't exactly a bad sign for someone like Pawlenty. Putting Ron Paul's 12% in its appropriate little box in the corner, the lack of a solid front-runner (and the massive issues facing the two relevant candidates ahead of him) leaves Pawlenty in decent position to become a John Kerry-style "everybody's second choice" candidate. He's a hell of a lot less likely to come crashing down than either candidate ahead of him.
