"I mentioned last week that St. Olaf Political Scientist Dan Hofrenning had predicted on Almanac that Tim Pawlenty will be the 2012 Repub nominee. Several TPaw-dislikers asked me what Hofrenning could be talking about, so I called the always-pleasant-and-generous-with-his-views Hofrenning and asked him.

The answer was fairly simple: Hofrenning believes that of the current list of likeliest GOP contenders, Pawlenty is the only one who seems thoroughly acceptable to both of the party's major factions, the social and the economic conservatives."
