I suppose Pawlenty wouldn't be a terrible choice, but I just don't see what he brings.  Any chance of swinging Minnesota is long gone, so why bother picking him?

He's non-controversial.

I'm not saying McCain is going to win Minnesota, just saying Pawlenty will help make it more competitive than the polls are showing it to be right now. Minnesota is not a solidly Democratic state anymore.

It is this cycle. The polls, for the most part, have had Obama up consistently. Pawlenty isn't a huge mega-popular Governor, either. He only narrowly beat Hatch in 06.

Knowing McCain's erratic campaign "strategy". He would announce tomorrow.

So was Dan Quayle in 1988.

Good point. Though, I don't know much about Quayle pre-gaffe's.
