No potential VP candidate loses their prior post unless they win the election, so I'm more than a little confused about how the "dump that hump" bit couples with the "just our luck" bit.
Also—and, with apologies to you Franken-loving Socialists—I doubt you've followed the Pawlenty elections and gubernatorial debates anywhere near as closely as this (admittedly Centre Right) Minnesotan did, but I will say that there's a reason why the same state that coughed up wins for Wellstone, Mondale, Kerry, and Gore called upon Mr. Pawlenty to govern them. Twice. Hooray for purple-state moderacy, I say.
Pawlenty is a putz and is well qualified to be the Republican VP.
It is questionable whether or not that would cause Minnesotans to vote for him. The state is a mess. Granted some of the fault lies with Jesse "The Body"....
don't be putting the "smack" on Wellstone...
No "smack"; I was simply pointing out that the Minnesotan electorate has produced many an indeed 'true blue' liberal (Wellstone's about as Left as one can get) and so Pawlenty can be seen as the product of a reasonably moderate, purple state. I still don't get what specifically earns him "hump" and "putz."
FWIW, I followed "The Mind" on a near-daily basis my first couple years in Minneapolis and he really wasn't the total ramrod most out-of-state'ers claim.
Give peace a chance, brother...
your 'minnesota opinion' doesn't jive with other MN opinions of which I am familiar.
Wellstone was one of those odd political figures that actually represented the people.
Franken is a putz.
I am pretty sure that Franken would be one of the first people to say "Franken is putz".
If by "the people" you mean to say that Wellstone advocated a platform for "the proletariat," sure. If we could just combine the broadly well-intentioned aims of Wellstone with Thomas Sowell's first principles, yay. (In short: Jack Kemp.)
I'd be happy to join up with Euston Manifesto-type Lefties, but come on. What next: Carter's got a reasonable posture toward Israel? Fringe partisans make me shudder.
