Too late now to have any influence on McCain’s decision.
He would be a weak choice. I could not see him as President.
Really looking at Tim Pawlenty’s record reveals he is the candidate that McCain would feel most comfortable with.
I think he is McCain’s pick. Someone who won’t make any political waves, but in that regard won’t rock the boat either.
I think McCain saw the polls showing him tied or ahead of Obama, and decided he didn’t need a risky “game changer” like Lieberman, and likewise saw the polls showing he has pretty well already coalesced the Republican base around him, so he doesn’t need a “unity” ticket with Romney.
BTTT!
DJ, Pawlenty may not be a perfect VP for McCain, but I think he’s very good, and you must admit that he’s a far, far better choice than Romney, Ridge, Lieberman or Hutchison.
