Methinks Pawlenty purposefully sat out this race knowing that it was unwinnable for Republicans.
He competed. He achieved nothing in the primaries. He dropped out. He endorsed Romney. And he did so in such a blaze of obscurity that you didn't even notice.
So I don't think he has much hope next time around.
As I said at the time, no-one called Tim will ever achieve greatness. With a first name like that, the best one can aim for is mild niceness. I don't say it's right, that's just how the world works. You might as well be called Jeremy.

Tims
Tim Minchin
Tim Lincecum
Tim Duncan
Tim Hardaway
Tim Jennings
I've only even heard of one of them, and I would not say that Tim Minchin has achieved greatness. He's certainly the greatest Australian-born comic pianist in the world, and yet ...
Parents, don't name your kids Tim. It predestines them to a life of pleasant mediocrity.

I notice that you couldn't think of a single Jeremy who's achieved anything at all. Face it, I'm right.
