Gov. Tim Pawlenty became
the only Minnesota governor in the long history of
Minnesota to have ever presided over a Minnesota state government shutdown.
And don't believe anything other than this: Pawlenty
was responsible for that 2005 shutdown of the state. A shutdown that Pawlenty

of Minnesota voters did NOT vote for Tim Pawlenty for
governor either in 2002, or in 2006. Pawlenty couldn't even get 1/2 of all
Minnesota voters to vote for him in either of those two elections. So
how did Pawlenty win? He split the vote; meaning there were three or more people
in the race and because there is no instant run-off vote in Minnesota [there
should be] for the two highest vote getters to
ensure that 51 percent or more of the voters elect the winner, Pawlenty's plurality
gave him the office. To view Pawlenty's vote totals for 2002 and 2006 elections,
