* IF the Minnesota Supreme Court rules in favor of DFLer U.S. Senate candidate, Al Franken, Gov. Pawlenty.....

Minnesota Public Radio:
"....says he intends to sign an election certificate in Minnesota's long-running U.S. Senate race once the court rules on the matter.

Pawlenty said on CNN's State of the Union program Sunday that he expects the Minnesota Supreme Court to rule on the case soon. He also said he expects the court to direct him to sign the election certificate and will sign it if the court instructs him to do so. He said he also won't wait too long if the case is appealed on federal court....."

Al Franken needs to be seated in the U.S. Senate ASAP.

* Gov. Mark Sanford's trip to Argentina to visit his mistress has been a very interesting sideshow. How did the governor of South Carolina think that no one would notice that he was missing for a few days? Sanford is an idiot and a buffoon.

Sanford met with his cabinet soon after his return from his tryst in Argentina.

News Yahoo:

....At one point, he likened his confession and future to the biblical plight of King David — and looks of nervousness and incredulity crept into the officials' faces....

Sanford is a complete hypocrite. He has no moral ground. He betrayed his wife, his vows, and his children. Sanford now thinks he can make things better with a stupid apology and a comparison with a biblical figure. I'm sure that the people of South Carolina are embarrassed by this man as their governor. If Sanford stays in office, he continues to be a reminder of the real meaning of Republican family values.
