Here's what's being said--from a Pawlenty press release:
Gov. Tim Pawlenty's Gutsy Move to Tell the Hard TruthTechnorati tags:
"It's time for new leadership. It's time for a new approach. And, it's time for America's president - and anyone who wants to be president - to look you in the eye and tell you the truth." – Governor Pawlenty
"On ethanol, Pawlenty has offered a conservative stance that genuinely involves telling an audience something they don't want to hear, and this stance is a big, flashing anti-pander in a state that's pretty key to his bid. He didn't tuck it into a policy pamphlet or a line in a speech to CPAC; he put it right there in the kickoff speech, in front of an Iowa audience not likely to be receptive. The allegedly milquetoast candidate almost comes across as a little brash."- Jim Geraghty, National Review
"You? In Iowa? Called for an end to ethanol subsidies? … That’s politically gutsy."- Rush Limbaugh
"If Pawlenty goes to Iowa to oppose farm subsidies, that's about as honest as a Midwestern politician can get. Will Iowans support that kind of long-overdue honesty, or will they punish Pawlenty for it? - Ed Morrissey, HotAir
"…If this speech is any indication, Pawlenty looks he's planning to charge sacred cows in rhetoric while campaigning."- Katrina Trinko, National Review
"Pawlenty's ethanol gambit forces them to rethink that by posing the following question: If he's willing to confront Iowa voters about their little ethanol gravy train in the name of fiscal responsibility — even though his candidacy probably depends on winning the state — then who wouldn't he be willing to confront? He's got guts." - Allahpundit, HotAir
"Telling the truth. In politics. It's an idea so crazy, so out of the box, that it just might work."- Bryan Preston, Pajamas Media
