Be interesting to see if Pawlenty can actually deliver Minnesota. Minnesota has voted Republican (for president) only once in the last 12 elections (1972) and was the only state Reagan didn't win in '84.

The VP has as much power as he allows the president, just look at Darth Cheney.

(yes, that sentence was deliberately written that way)

Pawlenty has said it isn't him.

The media is reporting that Pawlenty and Romney are out and that it may be Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. That pick is both surprising and acceptable to me. Wow.

Why is she acceptable? She represents the new brand of the Republican Party. When she ran for Governor of Alaska she ran on a platform of anti-corruption. She's also a populist (like Huckabee).

I was quite surprised that Romney was out, but do understand it. I know nothing of Sarah Palin, though.

However, it is being reported that Palin is in Alaska, not Ohio. It seems as if there is going to be a complete surprise pick - perhaps someone who hasn't even been discussed.

All I'll say is if it is Leiberman the election is over and Obama wins by 20+ points.

If that's who it is, unsure Hillary voters just say no to identity politics.

I agree whole heartedly with that!

MSNBC is reporting Palin.
