Gov. Tim Pawlenty and his wife Mary watch their daughter Anna play in a volleyball game Thursday in Minneapolis.

The Republican vice presidential watch picked up ever-more intensity Thursday, with Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty right in the middle of it.

As reports swirled that John McCain would appear with his choice for a running mate at a rally today, Pawlenty, who had been in Denver to help deliver the GOP response during the Democratic National Convention, canceled interviews Thursday and returned home.

Pawlenty long has been reported to be on McCain’s short list of veep possibilities. The reports have been that McCain and his pick, whoever it turns out to be, will attend a rally today in Dayton, Ohio.

No word on McCain’s selection has surfaced.

At a Thursday morning news conference in Denver, Pawlenty, who usually has demurred when asked about the vice presidency, actually took a moment to document his bona fides, pointing out that he has been governor for six years, the commander in chief of the Minnesota National Guard and is a former state House majority leader, as well as having had “some other life experiences.”

I probably WON’t sleep now .. LOL.

I read on another site that apparently the plan is to have Ridge, Pawlenty, Palin and Romney on the stage with him .. and then to have the VP step forward. Huh? Of true, sounds like a gameshow.

Fine-— It would be novel to have something called a united front - for a change. The last time repubs even tried to have a united front was with Newt. A little fire in the belly wouldn’t hurt Johnny Mac one little bit.
