Minnesota’s governor, Tim Pawlenty, spoke for about an hour this morning at Medtronic. I’ve had a chance to hear him personally three times now. (I believe that’s three times more than I’ve heard all of Minnesota’s other governors combined!) My impressions are that Governor Pawlenty is:

  1. A sharp thinker
  2. Articulate
  3. Energetic
  4. Friendly
  5. Humble
