Quote of the Day: Tim Pawlenty on the GOP

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Here's what the Minnesota governor told Politico's Ben Smith yesterday:

It's kind of like asking whether the stock market has bottomed out. I think it has bottomed out – in terms of it getting worse, at least, but we have a lot of work to do.

There is indeed a lot of work to be done, but I suspect that Pawlenty has sold his party short. It is capable of so, so much worse.
