There are many compelling reasons to consider Palwenty as a running mate. His popularity in his home state definitely helps.

Naw, T-Paw wouldn’t bring anything to McCain’s ticket. McCain needs a solidly Conservative Southerner.

Pawlenty? Who the hell ever heard of him? Polenta? Huh? Would be almost as dumb a choice as Bobby Jindal or (God forbid!) Condoleeza Rice.

The McCain List.
Common sense conservatism

The last poll had McCain running several points ahead in Minnesota against both Democrats

Does Pawlenty buy into the Global Warming scam? Does anyone know?

I've been saying for a while that Pawlenty is McCain's most likely running mate. There are a couple reasons that might be less likely now, though.

First, McCain's been losing almost every southern state to Huckabee. If he sees more evidence of an exodus by the southern conservative base, he may decide to try and find someone who's more of a darling of the conservative movement. I don't necessarily think that person need be from the south himself; that's more of a Democrat thing.

Second, he may need to cut a deal with someone in order raise more money and compete with the Democrat warchest. That means either a candidate more favorable to the party establishment and its main donors, or someone like Mike Bloomberg who can pump his own money into the campaign.

If he thinks his money situation is sound and if he doesn't think many conservatives are going to jump ship, then Pawlenty's still his most likely running mate. I think McCain will wait until the convention is closer before he decides he's in real trouble with the base or with the major fundraisers.
