McPlenty - MittPlenty - Giulienty #2
Posted by Andy on March 15th, 2007
The Big Q folks have more murmuring about Pawlenty as VeeP.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty is in Iowa today campaigning with Sen. John McCain. Bet the rent money that this will set off the latest round of speculation that Pawlenty may be on the national ticket in 2008.
(By the way, this theory doesn’t depend on McCain getting the nomination. If someone beats McCain, the theory goes, putting Pawlenty on the ticket would be a way to mend fences with the McCainiacs. And then there’s all the usual talking points for Pawlenty-the-running-mate-speculation: He’s young, energetic, likeable, talented, articulate, survived the GOP’s ‘06 disaster, comes from a purple state, appeals to hockey players, etc.)
I’ve pulled a Rose and bet that I would speculate. Of course, Black is doubtful of any seriousness to this, because Pawlenty said he would finish his term. But seriously, when has any politician ever kept that type of promise?
Wellstone broke his own 2 term pledge, and ran for a third.
(enter the funny bone)
Here’s my dream ticket….. Cheney - Pawlenty. Why not. The lefties would literally explode. The media would spend all their time saying “but, but, but he’s too old”. And people could go, but Tim is young and besides hockey players like him, even if he can’t say puck properly.

I could handle Timmy as a Veep, just so long as it’s not with McCain (who cannot be trusted!)
