I've kind of been out of the loop. What in the great, wide wherever did Pawlenty do to fuck his ratings like that? The Foxhole Atheist (talk) 10:50, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it's mostly the sudden Bachmann surge. People were constantly looking for the Anti-Romney, and for quite a while, it looked like Pawlenty would be the main alternative. The values at which he traded a few weeks ago were simply ridiculous, given his rather poor polling numbers, and they rapidly collapsed when she emerged as a major contender. Plus, there's a lot of buzz about Rick Perry entering the race, and he'd be another candidate vying for a similar part of the electorate. So overall, it's nothing he himself has done, it's just that his bland agreeableness doesn't look as good as it used to, now that other options are emerging.
