Tim Pawlenty faces tax return scrutiny

Former Minnestota governor Tim Pawlenty, a leading VP contender, was forced to correct his campaign disclosure forms after questionable telecom payments were revealed

The touting of Tim Pawlenty as potential running-mate for Mitt Romney has reignited questions over his refusal as governor of Minnesota to release tax returns during a scandal over payments from a company owned by a close political ally.

1. Perfect although Mitt must be worried Tim's sparkling personality will outshine him.

2. And the Game Changing pick we've all been waiting for is...

Well it's Herman Cain of course

3. I expect all the Republican hopefuls are nervous about their taxes?

I wonder can they find one who is squeaky clean?

4. Yeah, maybe all the Republican tax cheats

could erase the deficit. In any case, every little bit helps.

5. What I think is sad is that the national political sphere

has become a place where fewer and fewer sane, credible, down-to-earth, honest people would dare to venture. Not only do you have to be on the rich side, but no one is without some events in their past they'd do differently or that could be misrepresented by a political foe. Also, most have families that get dredged into the unholy mess, as well. And now that indecent amounts of money run the game, even more so.

Herman Cain said, paraphrased ... you don't go to a brothel and expect to find a virgin. OK, he knows that first hand, but IMHO that is the nature of our politics, in a sad nutshell.
