New Jersey Governor John Corzine's recent traffic accident made me wonder about Governor Pawlenty's driving situation. The governor has state police protection and has someone drive him to public events. Pawlenty said that he generally sits in the backseat of the state-owned SUV and wears his seat belt.
Corzine was seriously injured last week in a crash. He was riding in the front passenger seat and wasn't wearing a seat belt.
