Tim Pawlenty, former governor of Minnesota, kicked off his 2012 presidential
campaign before a crowd Monday in Des Moines, Iowa. As the GOP field begins to
settle into place, Pawlenty, along with his wife Mary, held a town-hall event in
the first caucus state of Iowa. The pro-life candidate is a former Catholic who
has become an evangelical Christian.<BR>Â <BR>Dr. Steven J. Allen, editor

there's no question that he's a serious candidate. He's got a good record on
fiscal issues as governor, from what I understand," he shares. "He is very
personable and someone who would be...seen instantly as qualified to be
president."<BR>Â <BR>Sometimes called "TPaw," the former governor is not
known to be the most dynamic contender in the field. But Allen suggests
Pawlenty's conservative positions on financial and social issues could make up
the difference.<BR>Â <BR>"There are pluses and minuses. He's not the most
charismatic candidate there is out there, although it may be that people tend to
correct the mistake they made the last time around," the conservative journalist
suggests.<BR>Â <BR>"So if you have one candidate who got elected largely
because of charisma, next time around people tend to be more prosaic -- they
want somebody who's going to get things done and fix the problems, as opposed to
someone who maybe is an inspirational figure."<BR>Â <BR>Pawlenty, who was a
two-term governor in Minnesota, was passed over by John McCain in 2008 as his
vice-presidential nominee.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
