Pawlenty says to be responsible, but not a nut. Makes sense to me. He did get caught up in Leith Anderson's Greenland ice crusade, but Pawlenty is smart about such things- he read the full story and realized that Greenland is not the issue, so now he moderates his position a bit. Look at the words- it is a clear adjustment, it is not a flip-flop by and stretch of words or imagination.

Flip-flop?? Has anyone else ever changed their opinion when faced with new information showing that your old opinion is wrong (isn't that what just came out of the BBC recently)? Give the guy a break - he just found out that he was wrong and HE IS ADMITTING IT! Isn't that refreshing for a politician?! Excuse me? Flip-flop??
