The Fix's Veepstakes line still has Gov. Pawlenty at #2 on the Veepstakes line. Here's what Chris Cillizza wrote about Pawlenty:
2. Tim Pawlenty: Tpaw is the hot candidate this week with reports coming out of both Minnesota and Washington that things are looking good for the governor. And yet, when The Fix probed a bit deeper to find out what was behind the optimism, the best we came up with is that Pawlenty's body language has been very positive over the past few days. That's pretty thin gruel. Pawlenty, more so than any other politician on the Line, keeps his own political counsel so be wary of reports of what he knows or thinks he knows about his standing in the veepstakes. (Previous ranking: 2)
Cillizza has former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney rated as #1 on the GOP side.
On the Democrat side, Cillizza ranks Indiana Senator Evan Bayh at #1 and Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine as #2 for Barack Obama.

Jay Leno cracks some jokes at Pawlenty's expense.
