who does he work for ? Mexico's President Foxe ?
still pimping his book and dvds, which he didn't even write.
St. Paul, Minn. (AP) To hear Gov. Tim Pawlenty
and U.S. Sen. John McCain tell it, 2008 is the last thing on their minds. But the Minnesota governor and
the Arizona senator sounded a lot like two
guys who wouldn't mind sharing a national ticket.
McCain was in town Wednesday to help fellow
Republican Pawlenty raise funds for his re-election
bid this year.
"I think that all of us in public life
have an obligation to try to encourage another generation behind us to serve, and that's why I've been very
privileged to know Governor Pawlenty," McCain
said at a press conference,
with Pawlenty standing at his side.
"I think he's the next generation of leadership in our Republican Party, and in America."
McCain then said he hasn't yet decided if he's
running for president in two years, much less given
thought to
potential running mates. He also questioned if
Pawlenty would want to be vice president.
"The vice president of the United States really
only has two duties. One is to break a tie vote in the Senate, and
the other is to inquire daily as to the health of the president," McCain said. "I'm not sure that
Governor Pawlenty, given the responsibilities
he has here, would be interested in that."
Pawlenty, for his part, said he's focused on winning re-election and on a possible second term.
But he offered similarly effusive praise for McCain,
stopping short of openly endorsing his likely
presidential bid but saying,
"I think the times are calling out Senator McCain."
