	Booknotes
		There were parts of Tim Penny's life that I really thought we should get into the book that describe to people the kind of lawmaker Tim is. The fact that Tim is not a recipient of a Congressional pension is not in the book.
		PENNY: One of the only criticisms we had of the book is that we didn't devote a chapter to the media, and it wasn't because Major was involved in the project.
		PENNY: The point is going home and working another career part of the year gets you back into the real world part of the year, because Washington is very much isolated from the outside.

	Tim Penny enters race for governor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Candidate Penny has swung so far to the pro-abortion side that he believes Woman's Right to Know legislation is an "insult" to the women of our state.
		Candidate Penny's new pro-abortion position is almost identical to that of pro-abortion DFL candidate Roger Moe.
		In a 1989 letter to a constituent, Congressman Penny concluded by writing, "Please be assured that I will continue my pro-life record." Today, candidate Penny broke his word in one of the most radical flip-flops ever to occur on the abortion issue.

	Why Tim Penny Lost
		Rochester, MN -- Throughout Tim Penny's political career (he was a Minnesota state senator from 1976 to 1982, and a U.S. congressman from 1982 to 1994) and in his books and articles, partisan politics has always played the part of the devil.
		According to Penny, Moe was speaking to Minnesota as a conglomeration of special interests, not as a community united by shared hopes and sacrifices.
		Penny agrees with that analysis but says his failure to translate his shared-sacrifice message into a motivating message was also partly responsible.

	Ventura exits Minnesota, but third-party hopes live \| csmonitor.com
		Penny is running close to his Democratic and Republican rivals.
		Indeed, Penny's run is the ultimate test of whether, even in just one state, third-party politics can prosper beyond quirky, forceful personalities like Ventura or Ross Perot – and mature into a full-fledged political force with a legitimate party infrastructure and a real voice in the halls of power.
		Or as Penny himself puts it in an interview: Ventura "broke the door down," but "in order to solidify the gains he made, he's passing the torch" to more-mature political leadership.
