Red State’s Erick Erickson claims to have inside knowledge on McCain’s Veep pick:
I’m confident enough to put this up now, but willing to be wrong.
Right now though, every sign, signal, and background chatter indicates John McCain will pick Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota’s governor, as his running mate.
UPDATE: A source close to the campaign now confirms for me that it “more likely than not” is Pawlenty. He does, however, caution me that the campaign does not actually want to leak tonight lest the Obama camp get too much of a chance to play the victim card with a sympathetic media.
Pawlenty ? You’re kidding right ?
Yawn with a capital Y.
No wonder they decided not to announce this until after Obama’s speech.

I do not think that McCain is a goner with Pawlenty as his VP candidate. However, I do not know whether Pawlenty would be a forceful enough advocate of McCain’s policies to carry a debate against Biden.
