So how much of the blame for neglect can we blame on Pawlenty for the bridge disaster

in Minneapolis/St.Paul in 2007? It is certainly a great example of how the GOP has neglected our infrastructure. It is looking more likely that Pawlenty will be the VP pick.

2. Here in Minnesota we blame him a lot.

He vetoed a $6+ billion transportation funding bill the previous year. The DoT wasn't doing bridge inspections the way they were supposed to. If he's the VP choice that collapsed bridge needs to be rammed up his and McCain's asses every day. 13 people are dead because of that neglect.
