No, Tim Pawlenty did not get the vice presidential nod from the McCain campaign.
But there’s still a Minnesota connection in McCain’s selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his VP.
Palin’s new director of communications and press secretary, Bill McAllister, spent a chunk of his career in Minnesota, including a stint at our own Saint Paul Legal Ledger. McAllister returns to St. Paul next week during the RNC.

It seems like Bill McAllister would have been a good fit in that role. Although, I’m thankful that Palin didn’t end up anywhere near the White house.
