Kasich ran for President in 2000 , but was outgunned by GWB fund-raising machine.
I like him because he will win the votes of moderates and Reagan Democrats. He may not walk on water, but he can make a difference in Penna, Michigan, Ohio, and even Minnesota.
I have seen Pawlenty on television a couple of times. He is adequate, but I don’t think he will sell that well out of Minnesota.
With McCain touting the doom and gloom of Gorebal Warming, No to ANWAR, etc I don’t know if it’ll matter much who the VP choice is.
