What is a Pawlenty? Better said, who is Pawlenty?
By Robert R. Barney
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, a long-time supporter of McCain's is my bet to be the Veep choice for John McCain. The relative unknown governor is from a swing state with considerable support across the Republican Party, including evangelicals, and has always been thought by Republican strategists to be on McCain's short list.
The Minnesota governor is visiting Washington and was spotted at McCain headquarters in Virginia today for meetings. Everyone is thinking Mitt Romney, who probably would be the best choice, but John McCain is someone who holds grudges and I think their chemistry will never develop. My bet, and time will tell is the VEEP choice for McCain is going to be Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty.
