No Warm Words from Pawlenty, Bachmann

...The two candidates with the most to gain and lose there are the Minnesotans, Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann.

The two haven't been allies, and at this point seem to be keeping it just barely civil....

About Ms. Palin the congresswoman shrugs, "People want to see a mud-wrestling fight. They won't get it from me because I like Sarah Palin and I respect her." As for whether Mr. Pawlenty was a good governor, "I really don't want to comment."

And Pawlenty yesterday had a similarly chilly exchange with Fox's Neil Cavuto on Bachmann:

Pawlenty: Look, I am not speaking about Michele Bachmann but I am not running for comic or entertainer in chief. If people want that to be the main consideration they should go to a Broadway show.
