Airtime for the backups

Aside from Tim Pawlenty, going into last night’s debate I think most pundits considered these to be second tier candidates. After last night, I will admit that the perception that most of these candidates don’t have a viable shot probably hasn’t changed. However, there were clear winners and clear losers. Here is my take on the debate, which at times will be blunt and harshly honest: Tim Pawlenty Pawlenty demonstrated why he is a top tier candidate. He was professional, studied, and Presidential. He took clean shots at Obama and…

We’ve heard it before. In fact, our current President stood before the nation and told us that he believed that marriage was a union between one man and one woman.

They are openly supportive of the TEA Party movement and are popular among talk radio listeners and Glenn…
