Gov. T-Paw got a bit of smackdown in yesterday’s Washington Post:
[T]he Pawlenty who has stepped onto the national stage in recent months has said and done things that have other Republicans wondering about his instincts and his sure-footedness as a prospective 2012 presidential candidate …
The question is whether he and his team have been spooked by the influence of the most conservative wing of his party in presidential nominating politics. His advisers said no … The real risk for Pawlenty, as Romney learned in his unsuccessful 2008 campaign, is losing his true voice and his authenticity. Once a candidate starts down that road, it can be hard to pull back.

That’s nonsense. T-Paw has never had a true voice or authenticity. He’s that guy at work who’s always posturing for the next promotion. But then where else does a smug, charmless overachiever go once he’s elected governor?

They are right in questioning his voice and authenticity.

I admit with the second reply, he has never had a true voice and they are only right if they are questioning his voice…
