RIP Tim Pawlenty’s Campaign, Slain by a Lot of Horrible Advice.
So, the Republican Presidential field is down by one today as Tim Pawlenty, former Governor of Minnesota, has bowed out. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said Sunday that he’s dropping out of the Republican presidential race, just hours after finishing a disappointing third in the Iowa Straw Poll. “We needed to get some lift to [...]

McCain’s Veep Pick is Stealing Obama’s Thunder, and The One is Not Pleased
As if we political junkies are bouncing around like kindergartners with a case of Pixie Sticks enough as it is, John McCain has decided that he’s going to announce his VP pick tomorrow.
