Some people probably know Robert Carney Jr. as the latest Republican addition to the Minnesota gubernatorial race.
Others might know him as the man who filed a lawsuit challenging Gov. Tim Pawlenty's decision to stop funding a program that reimburses people who give to political campaigns (a judge ruled against Carney on Monday, but he's considering an appeal).
