A little lesbian humor…
Posted by: Chris
… from Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who's regularly named as a possible runningmate for John McCain:
"I have a wife who genuinely loves to fish. I mean, she will take the lead and ask me to go out fishing, and joyfully comes here," the governor said before adding, "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.'"
The governor quickly clarified, "It's a joke, it's a joke."
Nothing particularly racy there, but it's unlikely that social conservatives, already cool to McCain, will find it very funny.

If McCain has any brains, he will pick someone with Pawlenty's credentials. McCain does not need to further pander right -- he needs to take the independents. The right will have two choices, either vote for McCain or see a Democrat in the Executive Mansion. Oddly, and I know this from a decade playing in GA politics, many on the right would rather see a Democrat win the Presidency than vote for someone who is not 100% in agreement with them on all their issues. Many on the right see politics not as the art of compromise or the school of getting what you can get when you can get it (many others miss that part too -- see ENDA), but as an all or nothing war. They will tell you they may have lost, but they still have their principles. They don't realize that what they really are is out of power. McCain can't worry about these people. He needs to appeal to the masses in the middle.

I am sure that comment had him sleeping on the sofa for a night or two.
