Comments on: Vice President Pawlenty? No. http://www.secretsofthecity.com/mnspeak/10298 Minneapolis + St. Paul Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:11:27 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: scoste http://www.secretsofthecity.com/mnspeak/10298#comment-80193 scoste Fri, 13 Apr 2007 21:48:30 +0000 #comment-80193 Pawlenty is backing up a guy who is going nowhere fast as McCain's campaign is already looking tired and out of touch with reality about the war in Iraq.......the more he defends it, the more he's looking like a damn fool! <br /> <br /> Who knows at this point if Pawlenty will run for a 3rd term....I doubt it, because alot can happen to his political fortunes between now and 2010 with a democratic controlled legislature. Also, any job, even being Governor, gets to be a grind after doing it for so long. <br /> <br /> As much as I'd love to see if Bush had the audacity to try and circumvent the 22nd amendment, no doubt using fear and scare tactics and threats about al-qaeda as his reasoning, it won't happen......I recall a movement by the GOP during Reagan's 2nd term to overturn that amendment, and it died very quickly. Personally, I'm against any amendment that limits terms of office holders, I think that decision should be left to the voters.
