Pawlenty's take on term limits

Posted at 5:45 PM on April 13, 2009 by Tom Scheck

Several bloggers (most notably Dusty Trice) have pointed out in recent weeks that Gov. Pawlenty supported term limits during his time in the Minnesota Legislature. Pawlenty commented more broadly on whether he plans on running for reelection during today's appearance on MPR's Midday (not much new there - keeping options open).

I asked him after the show about his past support for term limits and if he's changed his mind on the issue now that he's thinking about running for reelection. You can listen here:

Update: I forgot to note that MPR's Bob Collins live-blogged Pawlenty's appearance on Midday.
