Tim Pawlenty’s bafflingly bad debate performance

Steve Kornacki
Desperate to prove he has a pulse, he picks a losing fight with Bachmann. Is he trying to make this easy for Mitt?
FILE - In this July 27, 2011, file photo, Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks in the warehouse at Screen Machine Industries during a campaign stop in Pataskala, Ohio. Same-sex marriage might seem like a straightforward issue: You're for it or against it. Yet for the field of Republican presidential hopefuls, it's proving to be an awkward topic as public attitudes change and more states legalize gay unions, the latest being New York. Romney and Tim Pawlenty were among those refusing to sign the pledge, but both issued statements stressing that they favored limiting marriage to one-man, one-woman unions.

Ron Heitz, 59, of Waukesha, Wis., attends the state Democratic Party’s annual convention in Milwaukee on Friday, June 3, 2011, where he signs a pledge to support an eventual recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Lynn Freeman, 43, of Madison, explains to him how the process will work. Democrats want to recall six Republican state senators this summer, and they hope to also recall Walker next year because of his efforts to strip most public employees of collective-bargaining rights. About 1,000 Democrats gathered in Milwaukee on Friday for a convention billed as a prelude to recalling Republican Gov. Scott Walker and six GOP state senators.

Lebanese intellectuals and journalists protest during a vigil sit-in to show their support to the Syrian protesters who demonstrate against the Syrian President Bashar Assad, at the Martyrs square, in downtown of Beirut, Lebanon, on Monday Aug. 8, 2011. Despite five months of blistering attacks on dissent, the Syrian regime has yet to score a decisive victory against a pro-democracy uprising determined to bring down the country's brutal dictatorship. President Bashar Assad still has the military muscle to level pockets of resistance, but the conflict has robbed him of almost all international support. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla) (AP)
