Lutefisking The One in Minnesota

Gov. Tim Pawlenty schools the President Minnesota Nicely. Video via HotAir.

More. On Pawlenty's presidential prospects. George Will via The Hill. HT Memeorandum.

On the face of it, more easy-going than Daniels of Indiana, but give him credit, he had to overcome a recalcitrant legislature. An Uff Da moment. (Plus he's got height, like Sen. Thune)

No question, the heartland is key. Seems to encompass the country:)
