Sources: Pawlenty is McCain's Veep

Although there seems to be a last minute buzz bomb for former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, my sources tell me that Tim Pawlenty seems almost certain be McCain's running mate. Pawlenty is like a mini-me McCain, more of a balanced-budget guy than a tax cut guy. (Though he's vetoed tax increases as governor.) Plus he's a greenie. Pawlenty's also pro-life and has a working-class background. Expect him to be deployed to the Big Ten states—Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and, of course, Minnesota.

Why is the NY Times at this very minute saying Pawlenty is not the Veep choice?

When a candidate makes lofty prommises that all seek, but will be impossible to keep, I say VOTE for the other guy!

McCain not only has experience, he has more reality in his pinky finger than Obama has in his Big Mouth!

GO McCain for President!!!!
