Pawlenty's 6 months of flip-flopping on signing election certificate-quotes of all his various
statements.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty has been all over the map about his readiness to issue an election certificate after a ruling by the Minnesota Supreme Court in the Norm Coleman-Al Franken election contest: He will, he might, he might wait, and so on. Here are nine quotes from Pawlenty on the topic, dating from January to June.

First, a bit of context. Under Minnesota law, the governor issues and signs an election certificate for the winner of a U.S. Senate race. The Senate has ultimate control over seating its members and so far Senate leaders have seen fit to wait for that piece of paper from Minnesota.
