Ames: Does Pawlenty Live To Fight Another Day?

The breakdowns are in, and T-Paw at least managed to hold onto third place.

Bachmann 28.55%, Paul 27.65%, Pawlenty 13.57%.

However, that would appear to mean he only collected 2293 votes - a pretty paltry showing for someone who had basically thrown everything including the kitchen sink at Ames.

He's recently talking up the possibility of getting a third place win and yet still carrying on, but still, it's gotta hurt. His only consolation is that he didn't come behind Santorum or Cain.

2. He's a boring tool. He says the same shit everyone else does but there's nothing special about him.

Mittens has Thise whacko crazy 1950's side burns and you can actually imagine home and his wife sleeping in separate twin beds..lol. Michelle bachmans got the crazy eyes and looks like she can handle a hot dog. Lol. Then there's Cain, the token black guy who owns mobster pizza and makes the crazies feel ok about being racist. Then their the quitter from wasilla showing up everywhere, stealing all the attention and money, but running away when it comes to work and no crowd. Now that TX jackass just hopped in; sounding like bush & quite possibly being stupider (i know scary, right).. Then there's Paul with his crazy abortion story, hatred of women, take care of urself- bootstrap mantra that somehow people love.

T-Paw is just boring. The only thing that comes to mind is the boring convention hosted in his state.. It felt like the Red Den of Hell and that a big bridge fell.. And he had been warned to fix shit; instead just gave away money to rich people.. And after the people picked a pig to run the state, it was worse off for wear. Plus his head looks funny.
