My Take

Tim Pawlenty reads to me as the textbook American institutionalist who climbed every rung the slow way. From South Saint Paul High School to the University of Minnesota Law School, then the state House, majority leader, and finally two terms as the 39th governor of Minnesota, his rise is methodical rather than meteoric. I find that more interesting than flashier political careers, because steering a cold, divided northern state from 2003 to 2011 takes patience and pragmatism, not just charisma. Whatever one thinks of his party, the durability of his local support says something real. I respect politicians who build trust by showing up and lasting.
