Romney is wasting his and his donors' money
Even though the conventional wisdom right now is that Tim Pawlenty is too much of a snooze to really win the Republican nomination, I'm still putting my money on him. Being an iron butt goes a long way in Republican politics, for one thing, but the reason that he'll beat out the wild-eyed Bible thumpers and people you suspect tortured animals as children is that, believe it or not, people who still consider themselves moderate Republicans vote in presidential primaries. And they're going to be enough to kill off Palin, Gingrich or whatever other nutters have passed my mind. Pawlenty will win by being the last man standing. He's both not hated by more moderate Republicans and not hated by the fundies. If anyone has any suggestions on where I could bet on this, I would appreciate it because I like winning.
