Make way for Senator Smalley:

After hedging for weeks about how he’ll react to the state Supreme Court ruling on Minnesota’s Senate race, Gov. Tim Pawlenty gave his clearest answer to date Sunday.
“I’m going to follow the direction of the court,” he said during an appearance on CNN. “We expect that ruling any day now. I also expect them to give guidance and direction as to the certificate of election. I’m prepared to sign it as soon as they give the green light.”
