Journalist: Pawlenty prepared, qualified

The editor of Tea Party Review says while Tim Pawlenty may not be a "charismatic" candidate, he brings experience and a record that instantly qualifies him for the Oval Office.

 

Republican 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.
 
Dr. Steven J. Allen, editor of Tea Party Review <http://teapartyreview.com/> , says Pawlenty's legislative experience has prepared him for the Oval Office.
 
"Well, 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."
 
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.
 
"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.
 
"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."
 
Pawlenty, who was a two-term governor in Minnesota, was passed over by John McCain in 2008 as his vice-presidential nominee.
