Should Republicans take Mitch Daniels’ advice and declare a truce on abortion in order to garner a larger coalition on fiscal issues?  Not according to Tim Pawlenty, who dismissed the notion in a Real Clear Politics interview on Wednesday.   The outgoing two-term governor of Minnesota makes a case for multi-tasking:

RCP: Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has called for a “truce” on social issues such as abortion for the next few years that would allow Americans who agree on fiscal but not social issues to work together to fix the nation’s financial problems. Do you support that?

Pawlenty: I’m not sure what Mitch had in mind there but there’s a whole coalition of people and interests and issues that comprise the conservative movement and the conservative perspective. I’m a fiscal conservative as well as a social conservative, so I don’t think it’s an either/or. I think it’s both. And right now the economy is a pressing issue for the nation, and we’re all primarily focused on that and jobs and the like, but that’s not to say there isn’t space to discuss other issues.

I’m not sure Daniels knew what he had in mind.  It didn’t take him long to jump back into the abortion debate after insisting on calling the truce.  And then after that, Life News notes that Daniels called a truce again.
