Most Minnesotans Wouldn't Vote for Pawlenty

Gov. Tim Pawlenty issued an executive order to restrict Minnesota's participation in the new healthcare law:

The Kaiser Family Foundation has calculated that about 250,000 Minnesotans would join the Medicaid rolls under the expansion. Pawlenty has said it would cost the state $430 million in the first three years. The Hill

He's being political, uh, I mean, choosy:

In fact, he's signaling that he could end up accepting other health care money from the federal government -- just not health care funds from that particular law. TPM

What a twit.
Meanwhile, Minnesotans don't seem to think much of Pawlenty:

According to the new poll, 54 percent of likely Minnesota voters disapprove of Pawlenty's numerous campaign swings outside of Minnesota.

And when it comes to whether Minnesotans would vote for Pawlenty for president, a majority, or 53 percent, consider that unlikely. Even nearly one in four Republicans, or 23 percent, say they've be unlikely to vote for him. MPR
