DNC Attacks Pawlenty Before He Even Declares Candidacy

Tim Pawlenty will formally announce his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president Monday afternoon in Iowa, and in preparation, the Democratic National Committee has prepared an ad attacking Pawlenty as a candidate who is trying to be everything to everyone, and failing to be all of those things.

The ad — entitled “Why?” — plays on a recent statement Pawlenty made in an interview with Time magazine. He was asked “when he first imagined himself worthy of the history books, ready to send soldiers to their deaths and endure the national stage’s harsh toll.”

“I don’t know,” replied Pawlenty. “I wish I had a good answer for you on that.”

“Why is Tim Pawlenty running for President?” says the script on the screen, as the type of music that generally accompanies a clown plays.

The ad attacks Pawlenty for cutting healthcare for low income residents of Minnesota while serving as governor and for the fact that the state currently has a $6 billion deficit. It also notes that Pawlenty’s approval ratings had slipped by his second term.
