There might be a few others in the mix, but Mitt Romney’s now the frontrunner for 2012 with Mike Huckabee out of the way. And for that reason it looks like there is indeed the possibility of two very young governors – Tim Pawlenty and Sarah Palin – to try [...]

“Rather depressingly, Tim Pawlenty could win the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 simply by being the least offensive candidate,” writes The Daily Beast’s Reihan Salam.
