Vice President Pawlenty

From the National Review--This will be a good move for Guiliani after he beats the piss out of Hitlery:

Although he is not yet appearing on media shortlists for likely Republican running mates, Governor Pawlenty is an obvious choice. Here’s why.

For one thing, Republicans still have a good shot to win next year. Consider the enormous disapproval rating for the Democratic Congress, some signs of progress in Iraq, and above all — the strong economy. Much of the calculus in the Electoral College will be involved in seeing whether the Republicans can win key battleground states in the Midwest. In 2004, President Bush won Ohio, and consequently reelection, by less than 120,000 votes. This time around, Ohio looks much stronger for the Democrats , which will require a new strategy on the part of Republicans.
