Do you think Tim Pawlenty ever asks himself: "I got out of the race early for this"?

And now I have to be second banana to this guy?

the only two serious competitors were Gingrich and Santorum after mid January. Both of them had (have) serious flaws. I still think the most competitive candidate would have been Huntsman if he had gained traction. Hopefully the Repukes will stay with the soulless, heartless, bastard they have now.
