Haven't heard anything about him, but he sounds like a normal, rational dude. I guess this is our baseline then. Things must get Michigan-bad before we start getting electoral sanity. I'm not sure the country can survive that!

We need more third party governors :).

The party is struggling to find its footing again after the Bush years. The GOP may seem ascendant now, but that is only because Obama is screwing up so horribly. Hopefully a strong performance in November won’t engender complacency. There is still a lot to figure out. There are libertarians, evangelicals, neocons, and many others vying for support and control.
Hopefully the party follows the McDonnell/Christie template - fiscal responsibility, smaller, more efficient government, lower taxes, and a distinct disinterest in wedge issues. That casts a big net and I think most right-leaning people plus many independents can get behind it. Rove also needs to come out of retirement to work on messaging... his predecessors have not matched up.
We'll know where the party is headed for sure when someone rises to challenge Obama. As of now, imo, Pawlenty>Romney>Gingrich>Palin. Empty right-wing rhetoric (as much as I enjoy it) isn't enough, people want credibility and management skills. The former governors of Minnesota and Massachusetts have plenty.

Eh, I think Romney is almost as big a flip flopper as Kerry was. His rhetoric often runs counter to his actions. The only thing you can count on him to say is what will get him ahead politically. Smart guy, but I don't trust him.

He also hasn't been able to come up with a plausible difference between what he did in Massachusetts and what Obama has done in terms of health care. It doesn't completely discredit him in my eyes as the people of the state he was governing wanted it by a pretty wide margin, but it definitely doesn't help either.Eh, I think Romney is almost as big a flip flopper as Kerry was.

What do you think of Pawlenty? He seems to check all of the boxes, but I haven't wikied him yet to get the dirt.
