The Sunday Times of London has reported that Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty tops John McCain's list of possible V.P. candidates. Pawlenty is an interesting choice and is a hint at the changes that McCain could bring to the GOP. Though I think that Bobby Jindal is a better choice for McCain, Pawlenty is also a very good choice for V.P.
Sarah Baxter of the Sunday Times wrote:
They [the McCain campaign] believe that Pawlenty, 47, has the youth, working-class credentials and executive experience to attract independent voters and disaffected Democrats who find Barack Obama, 46, the Democratic party nominee, too exotic and untested and McCain, 71, too old and too focused on national security."
"It is a case of “Tim Who?” outside his home state for now, but Pawlenty is the thinking man’s blue-collar conservative, a political moderate and environmentalist who possesses “proletarian chic”, according to The New Republic, a centre-left magazine. "...
"Pawlenty has already pioneered the concept of “Sam’s Club conservatism”, named after the popular discount stores founded by Sam Walton of the giant Wal-Mart retail chain, which holds out the promise of good value, small government catering to working people."...

Pawlenty is simply not gonna cut it. To win, McCain needs Sarah Palin as his veep-mate.
I do believe that Palin will get the nod.
McCain/Palin '08
