Let's face it guys history is kinder to presidents then the dailys, but it is true that the news networks have too much power and influence.

I will give you a little ditty concerning Tim Pawlenty. In 2000 or so he wanted to run for Senator. However he got a telephone call from Dick Cheney explaining to him that he was not to run for Senator because that position belonged to Norm Coleman and that he ( Pawlenty) would run for Governor. Advance ahead and Pawlenty turned out to be a good Governor for Minnesota working well with the DFLers who are as liberal as any. As for Norm Coleman he was beat out after his first term y Al Franken. Actually Franken's team was suspected and accused of voter fraud. there still finding stuffed ballot in Minnesota, Heck I found some in my golf cart.
