Strike 2 More Names from McCain's Veepstakes

#1. Mitt Romney, who couldn't think of a thing to say regarding McCain's legislative achievements in regards to energy:



#2. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who had lots of nice things to say about Barack Obama yesterday:

"Say what you will about Barack Obama," the Minnesota Republican told a conservative group, "people gravitate when you have something positive to say. People want to follow hopeful, optimistic, civil, decent leaders, they don't want to follow some negative, scornful person."

You may recall last month's response by Veep contender and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford when asked about the differences between McCain’s economic platform and Bush’s. Result? He couldn’t come up with anything. At that point the chattering class basically 86′d him from the Veep list.
