Biggest crock of bull the DFl has spun in a while

The DFLers site gives me much happiness. Everyday I can go there and find something extremely devoid of reality to post on. Take this one today. Pawlenty - “Most Polarizing Governor in America”
That’s the quote from today’s St. Paul Pioneer Press. A recent study of polls across all 50 states showed Pawlenty elicited the greatest partisan response of any governor in America, as reflected in job approval rates. While 80% of Republican voters approved of Pawlenty’s job performance, the number drops to 27% among Democrats, a staggering 53-point disparity.
Minnesota has always been a state built on pragmatism, not ideology. It is state where, until recently, Republicans and Democrats still got along and worked together for the betterment of Minnesota. The governor’s decision to pander to his base constitutes an abandonment of this fundamental principle. The good news? This November voters have an opportunity to reject Pawlenty’s divisive political projects and elect someone who will govern through compromise and consensus.
And let me respond to that by saying that Pawlenty still has a 51% approval rating. So who is out of the mainstream, the 80% who agree with the 51% or teh 27% that disagree with the 51%?
The rest of the pap will have to wait until later tonight. (after a few cocktails
