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.

Your Minnesota GOP: Working Hard for You

Filed under: Local Republicans

Looking for a site to liveblog from tonight, I wanted to find a place where local politicos gathered. Ideally, I'd be at a Republican affair, since it's their convention we're covering and all. So I punched up the Minnesota GOP site and looked on their calendar for potential sites:

Don't strain yourselves, folks! Election season will be over soon. And yes, the calendar is real.

My personal verdict: I'll be setting up shop at the Obama party at O'Gara's, where the liquor streams in with the wireless Internet. Come say hi if you see me.
