Pawlenty on Midday

Posted at 9:44 AM on June 5, 2006 by Bob Collins

Fresh from his victory at the GOP convention, Gov. Tim Pawlenty is on Midday today (I think, I'm doing this from home since this is the last day of my vacation and I'm sort of piecing stuff together on what's going on from various e-mails).

You know, Midday.... that politics-lovin', question-takin', Gary Eichten-hostin', Bill from Roseville- callin', phone-number repeatin' show.

I'm going golfing (18 years, never broke 100, but thanks for asking). Let me know how it goes.

Sabato Crystal Ball updated

Posted at 7:13 PM on June 5, 2006 by Bob Collins

Larry Sabato is out with a new Crystal Ball.

It's humbling for all involved in America's electoral process to realize that each midterm election season--all the contests put together--comprises no more than a paragraph in the history books. The significant elections merit a bold, detailed paragraph, while the run-of-the-mill midterms get a tepid, sketchy paragraph. Most election paragraphs are tepid; big midterm earthquakes are rare.
