After an extended vacation, Our Republic has returned to a political climate rife with speculation over whom Sens. Obama and McCain will choose as their running mates. Of immediate interest is news that Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota will be addressing the National Press Club on August 6. McCain recently dropped a strong hint in favor of Pawlenty during a private meeting with a small group of New Hampshire supporters. "You are really going to like" Pawlenty, McCain is reported to have said.
Top aides to McCain have indicated that the presumptive Republican nominee will likely announce his VP choice after Obama returns from Europe and before the Olympics commence on August 8. As McCain can be expected to choose on or before August 6 to maximize press coverage, this begs the question: Why would Gov. Pawlenty address the Press Club -- that is, why would he be of interest -- if someone else were chosen?
