我们来看看前明尼苏达州州长蒂姆??普兰提。这位虔诚的福音派神学基督教徒将明尼苏达州治理的井井有条,预算平衡,使得党内的社会保守派人士以及财政鹰派人士都对他青睐有加。此外,此人气质温和,这也使得中间选民觉得他的执政策略要比其他保守派人士的威胁性要少一些。理论上讲,他获得了一个理想的开局。所有候选人手段用尽的最终目的都是为了赢得党内提名,茶党运动把党内提名选举推向了极端右翼趋势,但此举没有失去可以左右最终结果的中间派选民的支持。
As a wolf in sheeps clothing, Mr Pawlenty has become a favourite among political insiders. Butaccording to the Pew survey, less than half of America has ever heard of him. Afterannouncing his candidacy from Iowa at the end of May, Mr Pawlenty has now embarked on thelong slog of making his name more widely known. At a speech this week at the University ofChicago he set out his economic stall firmly on the right, promising to slash the size ofgovernment and boost growth by simplifying income taxes, cutting corporate taxes andeliminating taxes on capital gains, dividends and inheritance. Critics dismissed his plans asfantasy.
普兰提可谓一只披着羊皮的狼,颇受政界人士欢迎。不过根据皮尤研究中心所做的调查,只有不到一半的美国人知道此人。五月底,普兰提在爱荷华州宣布参选。此后,为了提高知名度,他进行了一连串的造势活动,本周他在芝加哥大学进行了一场演讲,宣布要坚定的实行右翼倾向的经济政策,承诺大幅度缩减政府规模,降低所得税和公司税,取消资本收益税、股息和遗产税,以此来促进经济发展。然而批评家则认为他的计划不过是不切实际的空中楼阁罢了。
