It’s hard to know how to read this one. On the one hand, Pawlenty was advocating a position that would align with McCain’s goofy gorebal warming perspective. On the other hand, getting shot down by the National Governor’s Association, an association Pawlenty leads, can’t help on the credibilty front.
I think Pawlenty may be in trouble as this is the second time he’s been thunked this week. Earlier in the week, Pawlenty was unable to hold his minority, Minnesota House Republicans together to sustain his veto on the largest tax increase in Minnesota history. This could spell the end for Tim Pawlenty’s VP aspirations.
2/28/08 update: This portrayal of the NGA meeting makes it sound really bad for Pawlenty.
