Pawlenty sat down with the Washington Post's The Fix to talk about his proudest accomplishment as governor (held the line on spending) and why he's backing John McCain for president. He also deflected the now standard VP question:
“That support (for McCain) was not connected to in any manner or degree or with any notion that I would be a vice presidential running mate. As to that issue, I support him because he would be a fantastic president for the country not because I need or want a different job.”
Pawlenty is a lot happier in this interview than he was during today's news conference.
