Good. I hope all of the 6 house and 2 senators go down before the general election. One of the 6 said that this wasn’t about his career…Good END IT NOW! Don’t endorse him for November.
And if it is about doing the right thing, how about he gives back the $100.00 Per Diem that he is collecting? Especially since he can commute home each day…

LL, it appears Marty Seifert isn’t happy with the Governor either:

And I’m sure we’ll hear more ripping on Pawlenty from Jason Lewis tomorrow.

[...] Finally the MN GOP appears to be learning their role in Minnesota politics. The MN GOP is warning those politicians that voted to override Pawlenty’s veto, that they may forfeit their support by the party come November. GOOD! Why is it even a question. If you don’t be a teamplayer on the real critical plays, you obviously don’t care about the team, why should the team care about you? [...]
