On paper, Pawlenty would certainly help to balance out a ticket with McCain at the top. McCain will turn 72 in 2008, while Pawlenty will turn 48 that November. McCain is a Washington veteran, having represented his southwestern state in the U.S. Senate since 1987, while Pawlenty is a newer face, a Midwestern governor first elected in 2002.
Is not Pawlenty a tad too moderate, would not a conservative governor fit a ticket led by McCain better? Mike Huckabee seems a likley choice.
