Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, often mentioned as a possible running mate for Republican presidential candidate John McCain, slams McSame as scornful, by saying that
People want to follow hopeful, optimistic, civil, decent leaders," Pawlenty said in a speech to GOPAC, which helps recruit Republican candidates. "They don't want to follow some negative, scornful person."
And that
GOP candidates would do well to adopt a positive tone like that of McCain's Democratic rival Barack Obama.
I really think McSame’s campaign has been hijacked by Karl Rove and his ilks, and any Republican with any political future are running for cover. That is why, VP hopeful will publicly say this in light of these celebrity ads.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, often mentioned as a possible running mate for Republican presidential candidate John McCain, said Wednesday GOP candidates would do well to adopt a positive tone like that of McCain's Democratic rival Barack Obama.
"Say what you will about Barack Obama," the Minnesota Republican told a conservative group, "people gravitate when you have something positive to say." He added that McCain has been positive as well.
He barely mentioned McSame's name. Makes you wonder.
