Tim Pawlenty, R.I.P.

When you're an obscure governor running for president of the USA as a virtual unknown, you need to count on the home folks to testify to your worthiness and the viability of your candidacy.

Unfortunately for Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, his presidential ambitions did not get much of an endorsement from the St. Paul Pioneer Press. When he launched his national bid in May, the St. Paul paper devoted a mere five paragraphs to the story, burying it on page 6A. Not good. But in case T-Paw, as he's known, missed the message, 6A happened to be the obituary page! Yes, Pawlenty's announcement ran side-by-side with obits for about a half dozen other locals being buried.
