Tea Party loses another race for the GOP (Paul Ryan, upstate New York, Kathy Hochul, Jane Corwin) - 05/24/11
... downscale voters. Some may hope that Tim Pawlenty’s biography may cushion the pain. Perhaps that’s right, at least as compared to Mitt Romney, who in the 2008 primaries did worst among Republicans earning less than $100,000 a year. And yes, Pawlenty is keeping his distance from the Ryan plan. But biography only takes you so far. The big issues of 2012 will be jobs and incomes in a nation still...

... know. (Laughter and applause.)
Tim Pawlenty? He seems all American. But have you heard his real middle name? Tim "Hosni" Pawlenty? (Laughter.) What a shame. (Laughter.)
My buddy, our outstanding ambassador, Jon Huntsman, is with us. Now, there's something you might not know about Jon. He didn't learn to speak Chinese to go there. Oh no. (Laughter.) He learned English to come here. (Laughter and...
Tim Pawlenty's crazy Tea Party outreach - 03/01/11

Illegal immigrants in Minnesota costs $188 million/year; "liberals" whine - 12/11/05
... $188 million a year. Governor Tim Pawlenty commissioned the study and, while offering no specific legislation at this point, appears to be intending to do something.
That caused this:
"It's playing to racism, basically," said Rep. Karen Clark, DFL-Minneapolis. " ... I think it is a desperate move.
"The Crisis of 'Sam's Club' Republicans" - 01/11/05
From Sully stand-in Reihan Salam in the LAT:
...What Pawlenty realized - and what President Bush apparently fails to grasp - is that the Republican Party has changed. The rich still vote for Republicans in large numbers, but they're not the party's heart and soul. To win elections, the GOP increasingly relies on socially conservative voters of modest means.
