Tim Pawlenty is conservative. He has said that there is no liberty greater than the right to life and he has always been pro-life. He believes that same-gender marriage should be banned with a constitutional amendment. He is a staunch advocate of border control. He has also said in the past that if he ran for president, repealing Obamacare would be on his agenda.
I think that of the Republican field that has announced their candidacy for 2012, Pawlenty is the best candidate. The knock on Pawlenty has been that he is brutally boring and probably would not generate much enthusiasm, however, I think he would represent himself much better on a Republican ticket than some of the other potential Republican candidates.
With that said, in the absence of some dramatic event and in light of how discombobulated the 2012 Republican field has looked, Obama will be reelected and one can only imagine his stance on Israel once he is a lame-duck.
