   I heard of this site, [1]http://www.partyofpawlenty.blogspot.com">The
   Party of Pawlenty, on the NARN's Final Word with [2]King Banian and
   [3]Michael Brodkorb.
   It represents a collective opinion of many people, all probably my
   betters in such matters. But I respectfully disagree that candidates
   like Governor Tim Pawlenty represent the best hope of the Republican
   Party, to "enact our conservative agenda." That's the problem I have.
   Tim Pawlenty is not a conservative.
   Tim Pawlenty has a good record overall, no question, and certainly
   better than DFL candidates he defeated would have now. The same could
   also be said for U.S. Senator John McCain at the national level, for
   they both commit an unacceptable number of unforced errors. These
   errors not only hurt the party, they result in bad government for all,
   as in the Twins Stadium bill and Campaign Finance Reform.
   Any political party will have its upstarts and mavericks. Most still
   contribute much to the overall effort. Such "diversity" is actually a
   plus, lest you wind up with a monolithic, extremist party like the
   Democrats seem intent on building. But there is no need to recruit or
   develop more of them. They are not in short supply.
