Asked if he has the experience to be vice president, Pawlenty reminded reporters, as he often does, that he does not address GOP presidential V.P. speculation.

  1. Thanks. And my HT is the National Review, who took it from The Atlantic. Starting to have second thoughts about it. Usually the first big clue turns out to be false.
