A couple of weeks ago, Tim Pawlenty was the consensus front-runner to be John McCain’s running mate this fall. In the last fourteen days, however, the chattering class has soured on his chances. Check out this article from the New York Observer…
So what value would Pawlenty add to the ticket? His first opportunity for publicity – when McCain announces the pick – would be a wasted venture because no one (outside of Minnesota) knows Pawlenty and there’s nothing dramatic in his background (he’s spent his life in Minnesota politics). He’ll come across as another late-middle-aged politician with talking points.
Ouch.
