Domain name purchase stokes McCain- Pawlenty speculation

ST. PAUL - A Republican state representative who worked for Tim Pawlenty's 2002 gubernatorial campaign has purchased the online domain name "mccain-pawlenty.com," with his eyes trained not on Pawlenty's re-election bid this year but on 2008.

Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, said he plunked down the $12 on his own, to foil Internet "squatters" who buy up domain names that may be valuable in the future. "I wasn't asked to do it, I wasn't told to do it," he said Friday.

But it comes in a week where Pawlenty and Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican who's a leading 2008 presidential contender, made several joint appearances in Minnesota and stoked speculation of a possible 2008 partnership.

Garofalo, who was elected to the state House in 2004, is a young computer engineer who volunteered as a technology adviser in Pawlenty's 2002 run.

I will NOT vote for a Republican ticket with McCain in ANY position or order. If Timmy wants to be McCain's special boy, I'll wash my hands of the whole lot of Minnesota Republicans, too.

Pawlenty has been a good Governor for Minnesota. He is a conservative by Minnesota standards and has never been afraid to tell the truth, even when it hurts. He isn't obviously political like Coleman, which is refreshing. He takes tough stands on issues and sticks with them.

I would be extremely disappointed if he were to hook up with McCain. McCain was in Mn. the other day and I did hear Pawlenty gushing over him though.
