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.
You know McCain managed to lose 5 Navy aircraft. The definition of an ace is a military aviator who shoots down 5 of the enemies planes. Does that make McCain a North Vietnamese Ace?
Think about it a nondescript Midwestern Governor who’s decision to put Carol Molenau into two different important posts contributed to the falling down of an important bridge… its’ a perfect fit for the Republicans. Add Norm the Weasel to the mix and it is a buffoon trifecta.
