Pawlenty for VP Watch

Posted at 2:08 PM on August 28, 2008 by Tom Scheck

MPR's Mark Zdechlik sends along a note saying Gov. Pawlenty briefly congratulated Barack Obama for winning the Democratic nomination. He then skewered Obama for his experience.

On the VP front, Pawlenty stuck to the familiar talking points - no speculation. When asked about his qualifications, he said he was a governor for six years, head of the Minnesota National Guard for six years (which comes with being governor) and was Majority Leader of the Minneosta House.

Pawlenty said he's leaving Denver this afternoon and is scheduled and planning to be in Minnesota tomorrow.

This old chap is getting ready to board a flight to Dayton and is wondering whether the governor will be there.

Tea leaf alert: Pawlenty's official spokesman Brian McClung was in Denver (he said he was on vacation). He told reporters that he would be on vacation for the next couple of weeks.
