Tim Pawlenty says he can best serve Romney off the ticket, but leaves the door open to VP nomination http://t.co/cGxYO0Z7 v

The former governor also slammed the Obama administration for its handling (or lack thereof) of the economy.
Pawlenty: Obama "absent" on economic issues: Defends Romney by saying ex-Mass. Gov. has been specific about his plans for tax reform,…

Opinions flowed about whether Pawlenty would be a useful choice for the number 2 GOP spot.
@fran_chambers I hope Pawlenty isn't chosen for VP. We need excitement and charisma of Rubio.

VEEPSTAKES: My guess remains Jindal, with Pawlenty second, and even Thune more plausible than Portman or Ryan or Rubio.

@OctavianD And… I would say T.Paw has some common sense. That would not be a strong ticket. Romney & Pawlenty.

I finally agree with Tim Pawlenty, Romney campaign should look elsewhere for their VP.

And, leftists used it as an opportunity to take cheap shots.
If Santorum were less crazy & Pawlenty more so, either would have a shot at VP. I see a new body-switching script!

A Pawlenty/Romney ticket would be the most boring ticket in the history of presidential politics.

@BuzzFeedAndrew Pawlenty will be significantly more effective in support of President Romney in other roles than VP.
