And Don't Call Me Surely
I heard King and others urge me to call the Governor and whoever else might listen to reason, urging no Special Session this year. Yet the rumblings (grumblings?) continue that he might bring them back if suitable back room agreements can be made.
I'm no fan of Gov. Pawlenty. He doesn't understand his job, he's a poor negotiator, and he doesn't seem to have any core principles. But he is smooth as a politician, especially on camera. Surely he understands that everything the whiners want can wait for the next session. Surely he understands that politically he has absolutely nothing to gain. Surely he understands that whatever portion of the Republican base is still with him will openly revolt.
I'm going to trust the Governor on this one. King will be buying Michael that dinner.
