Default McCain to name Pawlenty VP choice

http://campaignspot.nationalreview.c...IwNWZiMzhlODM=

While this guys politics are the most conservative of the possible choices if you don't believe in Romney's new found views, this guy is so boring its not even funny. If McCain is going for someone not to overshadow him well he made one hell of a pick if he is going for some excitment he sure came up empty.

This is not the only report but there are some others out there that Pawlenty is going to be the pick.

McCain what are you thinking? Your not winning Minnesota, even if you do Romney could bring you a bigger state in Michigan.

If true, this is the third straight poor VP choice by Republicans. He has no shot at the nomination next election. They need to pick someone who has a shot. Romney or Jindal make the most sense.

Not really familiar with this guy. He's 47 which I think is good. McCain certainly doesn't need another dinosaur like Rudy or Lieberman at his side.

Selecting an evangelical I think would help to pacify some of the evangelicals who McCain threw a grenade at four years ago.

I wouldn't mind Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard. She started as a secretary and ended as the top executive.

That's a great story. I thought evil corporations only exploited low level workers...

She's sharp, and I like the business background. She also has Obama's laughable economic plan pegged.
