Power Line

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) could be a good fit for the Republican ticket this year since he shares a similar sense of humor with John McCain, notes John Hinderaker. Joking about his wife, Pawlenty said that she “loves football, she’ll go to hockey games and, I jokingly say, ‘Now, if I could only get her to have sex with me.'” McCain will have more problems with the mainstream media, who’s more likely to write stories that help Barack Obama, Scott Johnson writes. But while the many reporters question the fairness of the McCain’s focus on a Hamas official’s support for the Democrat, conservative writers have pointed out an Obama adviser met with Hamas, Johnson writes.
