I don’t envy congressional candidate Allen Quist. He has to take on Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who has a record three entries in our 2010 March Badness bracket. Before you get too worried about his chances, let me tell you that he could have a come-from-behind victory on his hands.

Quist said that beating “radical” liberals in Washington is an even bigger battle than fighting terrorism. “Terrorism? Yes. That’s not the big battle. The big battle is in D.C. with the radicals."

His opponent is Unallotment Pawlenty, who should be charged with a flagrant foul for his potentially unconstitutional use of unallotment power over the summer. His unallotment sucker punched local governments by cutting critical services. 

Who will win this shootout? You decide!
