| 131. Pawlenty is in a bit of a bind. Minnesotans do not care for bitter politics and that's what this |
|
has become. The bitterest of ironies is that Pawlenty wanted to run for Senate against Wellstone, but Cheney said no and hand picked Coleman. Now Pawlenty is going to have to either suck it up and do the right thing for the State (which we expect), or cow tow to the party that has screwed him over whether it be for his aspirations for the Senate, or McCain choosing Palin over him for Veep. Now he's being screwed by Coleman again. Sucks to be Timmy.
