Well Tim Pawlenty has bravely ventured forth where Sarah Palin has already beaten the path:

I’m surprised he didn’t do this last week before Palin endorsed Hoffman. He would have gotten major buzz for his boldness in becoming the first likely Republican presidential candidate to buck the party in NY-23; as it is, he ends up a bit of an afterthought to Sarahcuda. This is his way, I guess, of serving notice to her, Romney, and Huckabee that no one’s going to out-“true conservative” him, no matter how devoutly religious they may be or how phenomenally well their book might sell.

Alas poor Romney to answer Allahpundit I knew him as a Rino well. Well maybe not a full blooded RINO more like Obama with no fixed conservative political beliefs. If the polls today are correct and Hoffman wins Mitt is going to feel out in the cold.

Poor Dede, well there is always the Margaret Sanger award to fall back on:

There’s nothing like a person with an Italian Catholic name that worships at the altar or Abortion.

Vote Hoffman

It has begun, who do you support

The Palin endorsement is now having ripples in the Republican party:

Rick Santorum stands with Hoffman and Palin:

It’s a different case in NY-23 … the Republican seems to be … falling apart… the Republican candidate has been in the process of disqualifying herself …. You’re not throwing your vote away on [Hoffman] …. This is a race that we need to win … the best change for a conservative … a Republican… to win this race… is Doug Hoffman….

Tim Pawlenty, he doesn’t know:

“I haven’t been following that,” Pawlenty said of the contest. “I haven’t studied the race at all. It’s not that I would or wouldn’t [endorse Scozzafava], I just don’t know anything about it.”

And that I don’t know stomps all over his announcement:

Pawlenty was in Washington to kick off his new committee, the Freedom First PAC. He spoke to a crowd of hundreds at a brewing company just off Capitol Hill. The largely younger crowd included Republican congressional staffers and the various party organizations.

Watch for more of it, nothing angers pols more than having to take side when they didn’t have to before.
