I do believe congratulations are in order for Gov. Pawlenty. He has just been given support by one of the most destructive political opperatives of all time. Newt Gingrich as you might recall was the principle architect of the scorched earth politics that brought republicans to power in 1994. The next six years would witness the rise of corruption on a scale not seen in all of US history eventually culminating in the 2000 election of George Bush as president. The damage done since Gingrich declared war on the government itself has been lasting and once again a democratic president is forced to clean up the mess (a task made more difficult by the republicans continuing to make a mess in the minority).
So congrats to you Tim Pawlenty, you have been endorsed by one of America's most notorious screw ups, and the man who brought about the disaster that is the current republican party.
