Tim Pawlenty surprised the political world today by endorsing his once rival for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney.
The move is interesting because Pawlenty was a consistent and vociferous critic of Romney's health care plan and was the one who coined the phrase "Obamney Care."
Some argue that Pawlenty's move could set himself up for a possible VP slot if Romney secures the Republican nomination. And as The New York Times is reporting, Pawlenty has about $500,000 in campaign debt that he could use help in retiring.
Whatever the motive, this is the first sign that Rick Perry's momentum may be slowing. Romney's message in last week's Republican debate that he is actually more electable than Perry is a little more valid this evening, thanks to Pawlenty.
