So, is the Pawlenty thing a case of 'paybacks are hell'??

Somebody may have already speculated on this. If so, I apologize for reposting.

But do we think that Pawlenty dumping Romney right now is payback for not being chosen for VP? I was just watching Tweety when he reminded me that Pawlenty went hands off on Romney during the primary season. I wonder if that was an effort to jockey for the VP slot. Now that Romney is stinking it up AND chose Ryan, I wonder if Pawlenty is said, "Fuck this. I'm out."??

2. Nope. Pawlenty can see the writing on the

wall, and wants to make sure he has a job. He knows that Romney isn't going to win, and that he can kiss his hopes of a cabinet position goodbye. So, he's taking a job that actually exists today. He will not be running for any office again, but will become part of the lobbying network. He was the governor of MN. Now he's just another loser.
