Fellow Democrats John Mccain has chosen Minn. Gov Tim Pawlenty. Your thoughts?

Question

Msnbc said during the convention coverage that "Tim Pawlenty is the man of the hour for Republicans" and they were talking about what we could bring to Mccain. Also Mccain chose his vp and said he'd campaign and officially announce his vp nominee tommorow. He's campaigning with Pawlenty. I'm not aware of Pawlenty and he's allegedly not very well known. I think it was a bad choice. Mitt Romney would be a bigger pick for the Repubs. The easier the better I suppose :p Obama 2008

Answer 1

MS-NBC is reporting this because the MPLS Star Tribune is reporting that Pawlenty has cancelled all weekend engagements and he and his family are hunkered down. I think Tim will provide plenty of fodder for the dems. Yes, no raised taxes...result...fees, fees , fees..and a collapsed bridge!!

Answer 2

I figured out who McCain's VP choice will be when I drove by Waffle House and the managers car wasn't there. It turns out he had canceled all of his fry cook meetings.

I called McCain's campaign manager and asked if the Waffle House district manager, Jim Bob McGuffy, was his pick and he said he would have to keep that information scattered, covered, and smothered.

Answer 3

No choice has been made.  All contenders are going to Ohio on Friday for the announcement.  MSNBC knows jack sheet.  Not a trusted source.

Answer 4

If what you write is true, it's an EXCELLENT choice.  This man is a true conservative and has done many admirable things for his state.  He has balanced the budget three times, when he took over that state was in deep debt and without raising taxes, he's managed to pull them out of it.  

He is fiscally conservative and socially very much a moderate.  So, let me ask you, what is wrong with that?

Answer 5

MSNBC, as usual, is in La-La land.  He has NOT announced his pick.

Answer 6

Gee...do you suppose that the fact that he is the Republican Governor of the state where they are holding the convention has anything to do with it.

Answer 7

I was pulling for Pawlenty, I thought Romney would be/will be a complete disaster as a VP choice.  The Mormon issue is just too much.

Answer 8

I do not know how credible those reports are

CNN and FOX both reported Mitt Romeny was seen boarding a plane in San Diego with secret service agents

There is only one reason he would have them traveling with him

Answer 9

that would just be great!  (being sarcastic).

I am already holding my nose while voting for mccain, if he does that, i just may give up on him.  i would finally agree with obama that mccain's decision making is lacking.

i would then vote for either Bob Barr or Ron Paul.  in a sense, it does not matter either way as my state is guarenteed to vote for obama anyway.

I bet he'll pick Gov palin of Alaska.

Answer 10

Well Pawlenty barely won his last reelection bid here in MN, so I think it will not help McCain much.
