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.

And young and conservative (satisfies the base).

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

It makes sense. I used to want him to wait until just before the convention but that's too late. I don't want Obama going into the convention with a high single digit-low double digit lead in the polls. This will make sure that that doesn't happen.

If McCain waits until after the Dems meet, we could be looking at him digging out of a fifteen point hole.

He's non-controversial.

So was Dan Quayle in 1988.

I thought he was (even when at the very beginning).

Anyway, looks like we're not getting anything today.  Sad
