2012, here we come...

From NBC's Mark Murray
Tim Pawlenty appears to be the first potential 2012 Republican presidential candidate to release a statement on Bob McDonnell's victory in Virginia.


I want to send my congratulations to Bob, Maureen and their family. Bob ran a positive campaign based on the conservative principles of fiscal responsibility and low taxes. Virginians embraced his conservative message, rejecting more taxes, card-check and spending that would hurt economic growth and job creation. I'm especially proud of the RGA's historic role in supporting Bob's effort, and look forward to working with the Governor-Elect next year.

MSNBC & FIRST READ, I have just changed to CNN.  You have continued to disrepect your audience here. You post thread after thread and refuse to post any comments.  You are last in cable news for a reason, you report no news on weekends, play non-stop re-runs of lock up, while other stations that are news stations actually report news. Now what a concept.
FirstRead, why the F put these threads up? You have six now with goose eggs in the comment sections. Get on your effen jobs. Losers.
