 Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is back in the state today, with his new buddy.Attention, one percenters -- Mitt Romney will be in Eagan tomorrow.
The GOP presidential frontrunner will appear in the St. Paul suburb Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the headquarters of the Freightmasters trucking company.
If that isn't enough to get you excited, perhaps this will -- Romney will be appearing with none other than Minnnesota's favorite son, former governor and 2012 GOP presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty. The linked article includes a note and link regarding speculation that TBag could be Willard's vice-presidential pick.
I'd call Timmy a long shot for VP, at best. First of all, when it comes to national politics, he's an established loser. Also, it's not as if Timmy's presence would help Mittens win MN; Republicans never do, and Gutshot's standing in these parts isn't such as to change that. Romney will likely pick a conservative evangelical from the south, to try to shore up his very shaky standing with that crowd. Not that VP picks ever really make a difference, when all is said and done.
Romney has been helping Pawlenty pay down his campaign debt. |
