So he did, and that got the Times to reading between the lines:
See if you can follow this. Pawlenty ended with this:
"I think everybody will be looking back and second-guessing, triple-guessing this stuff for months and years... A lot of this is just like post-modern art. You can look at the painting and different people look at it and see different things...
"What you have to look to in the end is the data, an objective measurement of it. And so, politics as post-modern art analysis is fun and interesting but it doesn't get you very far. So I would just steer you to the data."
From the looks of it, did Pawlenty just say Palin was a bad pick?
