#2 The idea was that a Republican who governed a largely Democratic state and successfully did battle with a hostile legislature was the right choice to challenge President Obama next year.

But Pawlenty never gained traction. He was overshadowed from the start by former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, whose deep coffers and national network from his unsuccessful presidential bid four years ago pushed him into the frontrunner position from the start of the year.

#3 Bachman has no legs. You don't run for the Presidency from the house. TPaw was a serious player. Now that he's out we are one step closer to unifying behind one not-Romney candidate.

#4 From what I've seen Bachmann has great gams. Perhaps the TP&DS could run a series on them.

#5 T-Paw, I like you man but just did not see you addressing issues. FrankG laid it out for you right there.

Your opponent was and is Obama but thanks for trying. You are a good cat.

#6 Over a year of Campaigning and he can't get any legs ANYWHERE. Pretty obvious he was going to die here. Since he dropped out I think he was going for possible VP in the Straw-poll. Not going to happen.
