VP sweeps: Pawlenty is the frontrunner
Filed under: Local Republicans
That's the word from The Fix this morning. Here's what Chris Cillizza has to say about T-Paw:
The two-term Minnesota governor has to be considered the frontrunner at the moment to be McCain's pick. He hails from the electorally important Midwest, is young enough to balance concerns about McCain's age, and he stuck by the Arizona senator in the darkest days of the campaign. The criticism that Pawlenty is an unknown on the national stage may, in fact, be an argument in his favor -- voters won't bring any preconceived notions about him to the ticket. Never forget that one of the guiding principles in picking a VP is to find someone who is comfortable being seen but not heard. Want more about the man they call "Tpaw"? Make sure to read Jonathan Martin's profile of the man.

I saw our governor once. He was at Bunkers and he wore a black mock Turtleneck with his blue jeans and had black ballcap on. He kind of looked like Kevin Kline in "A Fish Called Wanda." There were two big brutes with him and his wife. He was an affable little fascist--smiling and probably thinking no one recognized him. I remember walking by the fellow and shouting, "Get that fucking stadium built." He chuckled nervously.
