Pawlenty checks more states off his travel list

Gov. Tim Pawlenty is on course to tick all but one of the Gulf Coast states off his travel list between today and next April.

[our gov is a joke]

a part time gov. should get part time pay and cut half his staff to show mn how he is willian to do what he demands from everyone else

I just love Tim. He most likely will be our next President. I do think it is fun to watch a political person take the steps necessary to become President. I'm sure you love Tim also.

Unless you're well off financially, voting for and supporting Palenty or any other conservative, is against your best interest.

Why doesn't Pawlenty check outof the US and move to say Mexico?

Good bye wingnut!

I don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican or Independent - having the President be from our state would be priceless in terms of economic recovery and stature. Think past your petty ideological viewpoints (which most of you would be unable to commit to printed words, because you have no idea what your ideals really are) and start to think for the good of everyone for a change. You might not like Gov Pawlenty's political viewpoints or the way he moved towards a more balanced budget for MN, but at least he ACTS. We absolutely cannot continue to borrow and spend our way into bankruptcy. I'm not a proponent of Tax & Spend, but at least that's paid for! As a small business owner, I can assure you that increased taxes and the burden of additional health insurance costs for me, WILL result in the loss of jobs...at my company and across America. We need to do more for ourselves and quit relying on the "government" and other people's money.

Who's paying for all of these traveling engagements? He has to be escorted by a State Patrol Officer and is he using the state plane? How does this stack up for auditing purposes?

NO, he will not be the next President. He can try but I don't think he has what it takes

Timothy as can be infererred by going from a top contender in old news storys to a possible candidate in the latest ones.Has in fact gained a vast audience and not impressed them except for some disasterous gaffs and missteps. Like Palin and Bachmann he has come off as an enemy of the recovery from eight years of Bushisms.Which is being welcomed by a great many GOP voters as well as the DEMS.Everyone except the totally erratic and gullible death panel eligibles,who know who they are!.OOOOOh SCARYYY,vawey scawey death panels.Everyone knows it will take the two parties to pull together to get this country out of the nightmarish mess a decade in the making. Yet until the threat to consumer pocket books from credit cards is diminished a recovery WILL NOT happen.People now know the s rich paid 4% interest and few others less than 12 % and now they want 17% an up.IF you paid your bills ON TIME.Those who missed a payment or whatever the sky is the limit! Who on God's great earth is going to make a purchase on credit ever again?. That is on big hurdle that must be tackled since few will chose to jump it as high a threat as it is now. Those sweet numbers being flashed as a comeon by them now will turn ugly fast when the inflation that follows a big fall begins to skyrocket! Buy into it and pay 30% interest? I don't think so!

King Timmy is again abandoning the citizens of Minnesota in favor of his very rich fat cat Republi-thug friends / contributors / and influence buyers.

King Timmy, please come home. We would like to see you at least show up for work once in a while for the pay check that Minnesota citizens are giving you.

I, for one, agree. I wish he were back here working for us, there are way more programs that need cutting and/or complete elimination. Please come home Gov, there is too much government spending going on.
