Tim Pawlenty and the GOP Niceness Makeover

In early November 2009, in a hotel ballroom in St. Paul, then-Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and a few hundred of his friends, supporters, and financiers met to celebrate the launch of his Freedom First PAC, which signified Pawlenty’s initial step toward running for president of the United States. The big room was filled with angry people, as a sense of great purpose and foreboding hung over the occasion. Since January the country had been in the hands of a Democratic Hegemon, and in that short time had taken a perilous turn toward tyranny, or Stalinism, or dictatorship, or Sharia law — take your pick of the poisonous rhetoric being served up in the room. The point being that this was no casual affair that evening in St. Paul.
