MANCHESTER, N.H. — Tim Pawlenty downplayed the political significance of his newly coined term “Obamneycare,” saying he likely won’t use it tonight to attack Mitt Romney at the GOP presidential debate.

“Probably not,” when asked Monday during a gaggle with reporters outside Next Step Orthotics & Prosthetics if he plans to use the term to take it to Romney at the St. Anselm College debate.
