The story makes it sound like Pawlenty is wrestling with his conscience about what he ought to do. The implication being the “right” thing would be to sign the certificate and the “wrong, partisan” thing would be to actually follow the law and not sign it until all the legal appeals are over with.
Sorry Politico, I don’t buy your spin.
As an aside, I don’t think either candidate is all that great for the country. So leave the seat vacant for six years and then let Minnesotans do it again and try to get it right this time.

If the seat is vacant in 2010, they could have another vote and elect someone for four years to finish the term. Would make sense.
I agree about the tone of the article. I just thought it was worth posting because it shows the political pressure that Pawlenty is likely to face. I also agree that neither candidate is desirable, and I don’t really care if the seat stays vacant.
