"SNIP..........


Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) says he’s considering running for Sen. Al Franken’s (D-MN) U.S. Senate seat, KSTP reports.

..........SNIP"

Was he a good governor? I don't know him.

1. In 2012, he ran for President; he crashed and burned BEFORE Michelle Bachmann, if that helps

[applegrove]

5. Then I hope he runs.

[LeftInTX]

16. There is a good chance he could win

That is because would be running in the state in which he was elected governor.

He may not have been presidential material. He may not have been conservative enough for the Tea Party gang. I don't know enough about him.

[applegrove]

18. Oh then i don't want him to run. I thought if he was a bad governor then

republicans would not vote for him. But they voted for Trump so they could vote for anything.

2. Thanks to whom? Rhetorically. n/t

[oasis]

6. Jellyfish.

[rzemanfl]

10. Invertebrates, some poisonous thank you. n/t

[dalton99a]

14. +1

[Lotusflower70]

3. Hell to the no

He sucked as Governor.

[applegrove]

4. Good I hope he runs.

[doc03]

7. I wouldnt be celabrating the koch's

will pay whatever it costs to win. There goes another seat and nobody to blame but Democrats.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

8. Oh, the guy whose DOT let a bridge fall down?

[LisaL]

9. We are going to have to defend the seat that was in our pocket.

There is no guarantee it will end up back in our hands.

[still_one]

11. Absolutely Lisa, and those that believe it is a sure Democracy cratic win I dont know if they reali

the recent elections in that state

[LenaBaby61]

13. There is no guarantee it will end up back in our hands.

Especially if there's "interference" and help from the GOP rat finks.

[Salviati]

12. He's a republican, so he would be a terrible senator.

End of story.

[Angry Dragon]

15. He put Minnesota $2 billion in debt, raped the education system

[WE ARE SC13]

17. Just Terrible

A seat that had no business being in play will now will likely be in play. After Moore wins on Tuesday, I wonder if their will be any Senate Dems kicking themselves for forcing Franken out.
