(Tim) Pawlenty to DNC chief: Butt out of Senate race (MN)
StarTribune ^ | 5/21/09 | BOB VON STERNBERG

Gov. Tim Pawlenty has this piece of advice for Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine: Butt out of Minnesota's U.S. Senate race.

In a letter, Pawlenty has pointedly rebuffed Kaine's request this week that he prod fellow Republican Norm Coleman to abandon his fight to regain the state's vacant Senate seat.

For either Coleman or Democrat Al Franken to be seated, Pawlenty must sign an election certificate. In his letter, Pawlenty replied: "Some of your Democratic colleagues and members of the media have inaccurately stated that an election certification is being withheld," Pawlenty wrote. "That is not the case."

C’mon Coleman, drag this sucker out to SCOTUS. Franken doesn’t have a leg to stand on per the 2000 Bush vs Gore decision.

I love the fact that this is pissing the rats off like only Dick Chaney or Rush Limbaugh can.

Coleman should fight on.

Every vote the Dims don't have in Congress is of great value.
