Yeah, Quin and Jim, you're probably right about Pawlenty. The reason I picked Romney is because the Democats' trouble with Kwame Kilpatrick (scandal) and Jennifer Granholm (taxes) seems to have put Michigan in play, and the Romney name might mean a few thousand votes there. But I suppose Pawlenty's got more Midwestern Rust Belt credibility to help in Michigan.

Giuliani? Phil, have you been getting enough rest lately? Your friends are getting worried.

Your reactions to the Kaine pick as "stupid" and "foolish" echoes what I just heard from a reporter who's still got a thick stack of oppo-research left over from 2005.
