2. Ooooohh, the suspence is killing me, pause, not.
Ok, what kind of dirt do we have on PAWNlenty. I know its out there, all republicans are dirty.

In further news I heard that McCain is having trouble filling his venue of 10,000! So watch out for empty seats/blowup dolls.

6. Biden would cream Pawlenty in a debate. But I doubt he will get the chance. I think that McCain
