Pawlenty does realize that a Republican can't win statewide by writing off urban areas. I think folks who live in Minneapolis have an opportunity to get more responsiveness from Molnau now that she is running for a statewide office. People certainly should be contacting both Pawlenty and Molnau on their feelings about 35W widening, transit -- and about better ways to work with the city -- rather than having the screw Minneapolis attitude that way too many of the legislature seem to have.
