Let the horserace begin: would-be VP T-Paw is lovin' on John McCain

Gov. Tim Pawlenty pops up in a New York Times article today detailing John McCain's efforts to woo supporters at this week's annual meeting of the Republican Governors Association. McCain hosted a $50,000 party for the governors at a resort hotel in Miami Lakes. "Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota drove to the evening reception with Mr. McCain," the Times notes, "and later said in an interview he intended to support Mr. McCain if he ran for president."
