Capitol View

Is Pawlenty's second choice Romney?

Posted at 8:11 AM on July 19, 2007 by Mike Mulcahy

Gov. Tim Pawlenty was asked in St. Paul the other day about the faltering John McCain for President campaign, and he said:

"Obviously Sen. McCain's campaign has not gone as well as he planned or hoped, or I planned or hoped as well."

That's from MPR's Tim Pugmire's piece.

All indications are that Pawlenty still supports McCain. After all, he's one of the campaign's co-chairs and can hardly bail out now. But The Hotline raises the possiblity that he may have a second choice in mind should McCain throw in the towel.
