TV ad seeks to pressure Pawlenty to sign the certificate

TV ad seeks to pressure Pawlenty to sign the certificate
By Eric Black

As announced yesterday, three pro-Dem groups released a 30-second TV spot this morning seeking to pressure Gov. Tim Pawlenty to sign an election certificate if the state Supremes rule that Al Franken won the Senate election. The ad frames the question as whether Pawlenty will listen to Minnesotans, whom polling suggests want him to sign, versus national Republicans, who want delay, and say that Pawlenty has to choose between “the best interests of Minnesota” andand “his own national amibitions.”

The three groups are Americans United for Change, Alliance for a Better Minnesota and the MN AFL-CIO. Here’s the ad: What think?
