McCain To Name Pawlenty As VP Tomorrow?
The rumor mill continues to churn.
Gov. Pawlenty is McCain's safest choice, but he's also a very weak pick in many respects. Unlike Huckabee or Palin or even Romney, he doesn't excite anybody. Hell, polls show that people in his home state would be less likely to vote for McCain if Pawlenty is on the ticket.
Plus, he oversaw the collapse of a major bridge in his state, and he has developed a Cheney-like reputation for secrecy.
But overall, he's a standard right wing evangelical type who doesn't have enough name recognition or pizzazz to excite anybody about McCain's ticket. But he's not a total joke like Romney or Huckabeen or Jindall, so it makes sense that McCain would throw up his hands and choose him.

Ugh. Is that the best he can do? Did everybody else like turn him down like Jindal did?
Condi and Powell are no's.
The other 3 you mentioned are not yet no's.
Fiorine is a yes, but...
Why doesn't he just pick Robert Novak or Ann Coulter and wrap up the bigot vote?
