Barely Hanging on!

According to the Left that is, and by "the Left", of course I mean both the Star Trib, and the likes of Dean Johnson. Here's links to the story I'm talking about, as a well as a chart:

As well as a few points I found interesting.

"It just shows that this digging in of the heels by both sides is expected, and maybe not all that unpopular," Olson (co-publisher of the newsletter Politics in Minnesota) said.

Whoa!!! You mean that people might actually prefer politicians standing up for what they believe in, and stricking to the platforms the voters put them there based on? Bad, bad news for the left. Sorry guys, maybe something else will work out for you.

But DFL Senate Majority Leader Dean Johnson said the poll reflects Pawlenty's appealing personality and should not be taken as an endorsement of Pawlenty's program...

Ohhhhh, and that must mean that we don't ike Mr. Johnson simply because we don't like his personality, and it has nothing to do with him being a socialist lefty obstructionist. Thanks for clearing that up Dean, I was confused for a moment there. When will the Left realize that it takes more than a pretty face and catchy slogans to get the job done. People like our wonderful Govenor because he's finally putting a limit on the spending in the state where nothing is allowed, but you're going to be taxed for it anyway!

Typifying Pawlenty disapprovers was Michele Dukinfield, a 54-year-old registered nurse from Roseville. As she sees it, Pawlenty is "attempting to take Minnesota hard to the right. He's cutting essential services to people who can least afford it, he's a reverse Robin Hood."
"A big reason his approval has remained high is that the right wing has successfully turned any report of his poor performance into a question of liberal media bias," Dukinfield said. "He is attractive ... like a piece of chocolate silk pie, but good only in small servings and not really good for your health."


Hmmm...Sounds like someone has a crush...Tim must be flattered to be compared to such a delicatesen. Besides, isn't he doing exactly what our beloved Robin Hood did, taking money from a greedy government and giving it back to the people.

When will they ever learn?
