Pawlenty Raises 'Moderate' Flag At Republican Governors Conference

Before Palin, conservatism had no voice in the GOP. None of us know where we will be in two years but already "Reagan in a skirt" has shaken the Romney and Pawlenty types, in fact it is believed to be the Romney camp among others that may be fueling some of the media attacks on Palin. WM by Jack Thompson Human Events 11/14/2008 "Pawlenty in Miami was publicly angry, agitated, and even cranky, possibly because he found himself at odds with the far more conservative tone of every other speaker here. Hundreds of RGA members, who paid thousands of dollars to attend this Conference, wildly applauded “red meat” conservative pronouncements by speakers and not the more moderate and conservative-jabbing words by Pawlenty. And then there’s his “Palin problem,” real or imagined, that hit the fan yesterday in front of the national media, possibly upon the insistence of Pawlenty himself, as the above-reported comments to CNN by an anonymous presidential aspirant indicate."
