RedState.com: It's Pawlenty
Rhymes With Right — Based upon what Erick Erickson is hearing from his inside sources. I'm confident enough to put this up now, but willing to be wrong.

Bloggers Predicted McCain/Pawlenty in 2006
Wizbang — ... the Southwest quartet of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada and the upper Midwest trio of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. In what turned out to be a very rough year for Republicans, Tim Pawlenty's reelection in the Minnesota Gubernatorial race, coupled with the 2008 GOP convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul and Minnesota's ten electoral votes, should elevate Governor Pawlenty to very near the top of the VP short list - irrespective of who the Republican nominee turns out to be.
