Here's a statement from DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan on Gov. Pawlenty's federal PAC:
"Tim Pawlenty is quickly becoming the definition of 'say one thing and do another'. Today's news about Pawlenty starting a political action committee is just the latest in a series of broken pledges by the Governor - first breaking his pledge to not raise taxes on the people of Minnesota, and now breaking his pledge to finish his term 'strong' as Governor. This is just more evidence that Pawlenty is, at best, a part-time Governor who cares more about his national political ambitions than the people of Minnesota."

Sounds like a lame attempt to discredit the Governor. All posturing and no facts.
Mr. Pawlenty doesn't have time to show up to discuss the looming budget crisis but he has fostered but he is able to show up for all those nifty photo ops.
At least Sarah Pahlin had the honor to resign rather than just pu in face time and collect a paycheck.
