It's official. Former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty has declared his candidacy for the 2012 GOP nomination in a YouTube video! Unfortunately for "T-Paw," his super exciting announcement was met with a collective yawn.
On the bright side, GOP gray beards can relax knowing there is, for certain, a serious candidate to back not named Mitt Romney.
Pawlenty is already preempting fears that he cannot compete with Romney in the money race by calling his campaign a Buick, or something. Reliable... Apparently, Romney is the Mercedes of campaigners.
