Gov. Pawlenty will be back in Minnesota tomorrow morning after spending the last few days on a European trade mission. Not sure if Pawlenty took some time to visit Big Ben, Westminster Abbey or Piers Pub (the blog's favorite) but he did speak with SkyNews. He told the news channel that he knew he wasn't McCain's choice when he didn't get the call on Thursday:
"I knew when I wasn't being called to go to another city for the announcement, they wouldn't do that at the last minute. But officially I was eating breakfast when I got a call from Senator McCain."
Here's the video:
Side note: The Pawlenty interview was interesting but a picture on the left side of the page kept catching my eye. The story: "Drunk 'Cow' sent to jail."
