Byron York interviewed two of the folks alleged to be on McCain’s short list for VP. While much of the interview had South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty agreeing with McCain on policy issues, they disagree on two of McCain’s signature issues: Illegal Immigration and McCain/Feingold.
I would never be confused about who’s actually driving the bus if either Sanford or Pawlenty were chosen by McCain. However, it would be hard to hold strictly to “McCain doesn’t care about conservatives,” if he were to pick a VP who has a starkly different view on key issues that have gotten McCain sideways with the base.
