MN-Gov Pawlenty not running for re-election
Minnesota Public Radio just announced that Pawlenty is calling a press conference to announce he won't be running for re-election.

Making those budget cuts (because he wouldn't negotiate with the legislature) would have hurt him in Minnesota but it will look good for his national political aspirations. I wonder if not running also signals he won't be signing Franken's election certificate.

1. Pawlenty
This means he Is planning to run for president In 2012.Like Romney In 2006 he doesn't want to hurt his chances by possably losing.
However expect him to refuse to sign Franken's certificate.
