No one knows anything, in William Goldman’s words, about what John McCain has decided or if he really has decided already on his VP. Tim Pawlenty is on Good Morning America, sounding tough and stressing his credentials as commander-in-chief of the state national guard. Hmm.
It is rare that a secret of this magnitude can be kept for so long. The key is to involve as few people as possible. Depending on your view of John McCain’s judgment, that may either be a scary thing or a blessing.
