More of what they are saying about T-Paw's growth speech

The positive reviews continue to roll in for T-Paw.

From a Pawlenty press release:

What They Are Saying:

Gov. Tim Pawlenty's Ambitious Growth Message

"But everything I see Tim Pawlenty say in the last month appeals to me. He's not the jazziest guy in town. He's not the most exciting. But if you look at what he says and his vision for America and that plan he put out in the last 48 hours. Every time I see him on an interview, whether it be your show or somebody else's, the guy makes sense." -Jack Welch, Piers Morgan Tonight, 6/8/2011

"Whether Gov. Pawlenty's prescriptions—dramatically lower individual and corporate taxes, zero taxes on capital gains and dividends, sunset provisions for federal regulations and a growth-rate target of 5%—are provable as solutions is politically beside the point at this moment. As substantive brand differentiation, the Pawlenty speech was a success." -Daniel Henninger, Wall Street Journal, 6/8/2011

"…people are sick and tired of the empty soaring rhetoric. A guy who is going to admit that we are in a tough spot but at the same time assert forcefully that there's a way out to an expansive growing future, well, that's just the opposite of boring. -Abby Schater, New York Post, 6/10/2011

"But it was Pawlenty's frontal attack on President Obama's worldview – not just his policies – that make the speech noteworthy." -Stephen Hayes, The Weekly Standard, 6/7/2011

"First of all, 5 percent economic growth, a laudable, notable target…You've got what I would call a blockbuster tax cutting growth plan." -Larry Kudlow, The Kudlow Report, 6/7/2011

"Among GOP Presidential contenders, Tim Pawlenty is offering the most ambitious reform agenda so far, and his economic address yesterday continued the trend. While details remain to be filled in, the former Minnesota Governor is rightly focusing on a growth revival that ought to define the 2012 campaign." -Wall Street Journal, Editorial, 6/8/2011

"I am glad T-Paw rejects the declinist attitude that sees the U.S. only growing between 2-2.5%. We can certainly do better than that." -James Pethokoukis, Reuters, 6/7/2011

"And for the first time in awhile, Republicans have a prospective leader who is selling growth, not decline, who is offering choices, not sacrifice, and who is promising morning in America, not dusk over our great nation… Pawlenty understands that you don’t sell sacrifice. You sell growth. You also don’t sell the past. You market the future." -Dave Gaultier, Race 4 2012, 6/8/2011
