Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) is stepping down as co-chair of the campaign to elect former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) president. According to CNN, Pawlenty has been tapped as president and CEO of the Financial Services Roundtable, a Washington-based group that lobbies for banks.

Is this the first of many? Is the campaign just folding up quietly and leaving the stage before Nov 6th?

1. Question is whether he was pushed or jumped

from a sinking ship. Who is really in charge now?

5. Why would anybody push him? He hasn't done anything.

Pawlenty never wanted to be on the damn committee anyway. He was just there to stay in the running for VP. As soon as Ryan was announced, Pawlenty looked for a new landing place.

Not too complicated.

Romney would be a heck of a lot better off if he had picked Pawlenty instead of Mr Ayn Rand.

2. I don't think he can run from that pile of shit fast enough--how long will it take him to lose the

stink of that awful candidate?

3. Interesting.

Jumps from sinking ship, lands in an open sewer.

6. Anybody with any prospects will get distance ASAP.

Which means the only surrogates left standing will be Rubio and Sununu.
