Kumbaya Al Gore, Kumbaya

Pawlenty joins global-warming radio ad:

Deepening his involvement in the global warming debate and in national affairs, Gov. Tim Pawlenty is lending his voice to a nationwide radio ad sponsored by the activist Environmental Defense Action Fund. In the ad, Pawlenty teams up with Arizona's Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano to scold Congress for not doing more to combat climate change.

Against a background of inspirational, New Age-style music, the two tout state-level achievements and urge Congress to pass national curbs on greenhouse gas emissions. Quick action could spur thousands of 'enviro-friendly' jobs, Pawlenty and Napolitano say in the ad. Foot-dragging, they warn, could push job-yielding innovations overseas.


Remember the days when T-Paw's name was seriously being floated as a potential VP choice? Even if McCain is the nominee, I can't imagine that he could afford to have someone with less than solid conservative cred like Pawlenty as his running mate.
