Tim Pawlenty joined the Republican Presidential field yesterday via a You Tube announcement. Pawlenty, in my opinion, has to be considered for today, as the leading alternative to Mitt Romney. His announcement has him taking the position of truth teller, letting folks know that hard decisions need to be made, and that he won’t be afraid to talk about them and make them. I have to give some credit to any Presidential candidate heading into Iowa who publicly opposes ethanol subsidies. Nice announcement video. Now can he raise the money to compete?
