Pawlenty won't delay if court rules for Franken


Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-Minn.) said Sunday he has no plans for further
delay in certifying the results of the state's disputed U.S. Senate
election so that Republican Norm Coleman can pursue a federal court
challenge.


Pawlenty told CNN that he would abide by whatever ruling the Minnesota
Supreme Court makes in the contest, where Democrat Al Franken appears to
have an upper hand.


"I'm prepared to sign [the certification] as soon as they give the green
light," Pawlenty said. “I’m not going to defy an order of the Minnesota
Supreme Court. That would be a dereliction of my duty."


Pawlenty said he had no plans to slow up the process to allow federal
litigation to play out, but would abide by any federal court stay
Coleman might obtain. "If that doesn’t happen promptly or it drags out
for any period of time, then we need to move ahead,” Pawlenty said.

It's about time. That guy has obstructed the process far too long....

I would agree. i don't lean toward Pawlenty, but I do tend to lean
away from Franken.

But enough is enough. Pawlenty has road blocked plenty.

it's way past time to settle it and get to work.
