Tim Pawlenty's new political ad

Tim Pawlenty's new political ad is a hoot. It's an education themed ad, which is one of the biggest hot-button issues for Minnesota voters. While standing out front of his old high school in St. Paul, he looks at the camera and says:


A lot of people ask me: Do I support every child having a good school?

A lot of people ask you that? Really? Then they must be your friends, because that's a pretty stupid question to ask of anybody, especially a gubernatorial candidate. Do those same people ask you if you're in favor of clean drinking water or - and I don't mean to draw you into a big scandal here - if you're opposed to kicking puppies? If they do, then you should probably find somebody else to make commercials for you, because these people are asking the wrong questions.
They're leaving out the hard ones.
