*Main Topics:* Roman Columns, Pawlenty, McCain VP Watch, DNCC
*Summary of Shift: *Most of the news surrounded the DNCC, with a focus on
the speeches by Bill Clinton and Joe Biden last night. Though there was
little direct McCain coverage, many stations speculated about McCain's VP
choices. Also, the McCain camp's "Barackopolis" smear about the Obama's
nomination stage appearing too 'Roman' has been fully embraced by the media,
with all networks pondering the visuals of the speech tonight. Tim Pawlenty
made the rounds auditioning for VP today.
Hurricane Gustav is by far the prime news item outside of
political coverage. Other stories include the Caylee missing girl case, the
FDIC bank report, and efforts by Russian leaders to shore up support in
neighboring countries.
Highlights:
1. Pawlenty Gives Interviews
a. CNN: Pawlenty says McCain was the architect of the surge
b. MSNBC: Pawlenty talks about issues related to a pro-choice running
mate
c. ABC: Pawlenty touts his own credentials, attacks Obama
d. FNC: Pawlenty says Americans can smell hypocrisy
Highlights, No Clip:
1. FNC: MIKE HUCKABEE: Well you know let the Democrats have their show.
That's what this is about. I'm sure next week the Democrats are going to be
beating up on the Republicans for the way things are staged. I'm more
concerned about the content of his speech, what he's going to say, than
where he says it and I think Republicans need to be focused on his policies,
not the platform from which he speaks quite frankly.
Clips:
*Highlight #1*
*Pawlenty Says McCain is Architect of *Surge (CNN 08/28/08 7:30am)
CHETRY: All right. Well, let's take a look at who the Democrats chose. Last
night, Senator Joe Biden gave his big speech at the Democratic Convention.
And he took on Senator McCain's position on Iraq. Let's listen.
[…]
CHETRY: And you know, governor, even the Bush administration seems poised at
this point to set a date for withdrawal in conjunction with the Iraqis. So
will the McCain administration be able to carry that policy forward?
TIM PAWLENTY: Well, first of all, the success in Iraq that we're
experiencing and seeing is directly the result in large part to the surge. *And
as you know, Senator McCain was the key architect and the person who had the
courage to call for it and to move it forward.*
And so this whole opportunity is a result of Senator McCain's substantial
leadership and his courage to call it out. And he, too, has said we can
withdraw and should begin to withdraw troops from Iraq but he wants to do it
at a time and under a circumstance where we can bring our troops home with
victory and Iraq can govern itself and be a stable place.
And this success or this corner that's been turned in Iraq is directly
attributable to the strategy that John McCain embraced and had the courage
to put forward.
CHETRY: You know, Biden also argued last night that the American economy has
been driven into a ditch and that the war is costing American taxpayers $12
billion a month. How does John McCain plan to keep the tax cuts in place but
also be able to continue to fund the war?
PAWLENTY: Well, what John McCain has said in contrast to Senator Obama and
Senator Biden is we should keep a lid on taxes, not raise them like they
want to do. Number two, this economy is dependent obviously on energy
issues. And John McCain has been bold saying we need to produce more energy
here in America, including offshore drilling.
Senators Biden and Obama are opposed to that. And importantly, whether it's
energy or the economy, we need somebody in the White House who can work
across party lines in a bipartisan manner. John McCain's actually done that
time and time again on major significant issues.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden are two of the most partisan people in the United
States' Congress. And Barack Obama has no record, no record of reaching
across party lines and working on something of major national significance.
That's actually been controversial.
CHETRY: All right. We want to thank you for joining us. Governor Tim
Pawlenty. And perhaps we'll see you tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. you never know.
PAWLENTY: OK, Kiran. Thank you. ROBERTS: 30 minutes after the hour. Coming
to you live from Denver, Colorado, this morning in INVESCO Field at Mile
High. Day four of the Democratic National Convention. Good morning. I'm John
Roberts. We've move half mile down the road from the Pepsi Center to INVESCO
Field, a 76,000 person stadium, home, of course, to the Denver Broncos. So
you get some kind of an idea of what it's for an entire network and
convention production team to pick up, and move down the street and set up.
We had our folks shoot this time lapse video spanning several days. Hundreds
of engineers, producers and technical operators all for tonight's big speech
by presidential candidate Barack Obama.
*Pawlenty Talks About ProChoice McCain Running Mate, VP* (MSNBC 08/28/08
8:37am)
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Why do you think Mitt Romney would be a great choice for
John McCain?
TIM PAWLENTY: Unlike Senator Obama, Mitt Romney's actually done something,
he's actually run something. He's been an executive in business, he's
actually been an executive of a large state, a-
[...]
CHUCK TODD: The conservatives like him, even the tax guys will forgive him
for that cigarette vote. He knows what I'm talking about. He is a younger
generation so it ends up balancing a generational. [...] Might be able to
help him in Wisconsin, which I think is a little more possible than what you
call that the finger of Michigan?
SCARBOROUGH: Can John McCain afford to pick a prochoice Vice Presidential
candidate?
PAWLENTY: Well I think John McCain has said he wants a senior team and an
administration that reflects his values, his priorities, he's pretty solidly
prolife so I think he's going to have a team that reflects that. [...] Joe
Lieberman is a wonderful individual, a capable individual, someone he trusts
and likes so ultimately that's Senator McCain's call.
MIKE MURPHY: What is the weakness in John McCain going forward?
Vulnerability?
PAWLENTY: I don't speak to my strengths or weaknesses as a VP candidate, but
as for Senator McCain, you look at what he needs or what he could benefit
from in a running mate. I think its someone who can amplify his great
record. Do it in a way that's credible-
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: That's not a weakness.
PAWLENTY: What do you think?
BRZEZINSKI: I think he's perfect. [laughter]
SCARBOROUGH: How do you make this sell, after Republicans takeover when
there's 155 billion dollar surplus in 2001, 8 years later, record deficits,
record debts, we're spending way too much money in foreign wars, we've got a
slumping economy, we've got the biggest housing crisis ever, the dollar is
in decline, people are struggling out there, why should anybody vote for
that Republican party in 2008?
PAWLENTY: *Well Joe Senator McCain is not a continuation of President Bush
and his record reflects that as the Maverick, as an independent, whether it
be the surge, whether it be prescription drugs from Canada, whether it be
spending, whether it be torture, whether it be nuclear arms proliferation,
he has been his own person. Also, importantly, what it takes to heal this
country and move forward is going to take bipartisan leadership and not the
rhetoric about it, but actually getting it done. There's one candidate in
this race that's actually done that and not just talked about it and that's
Senator John McCain. And that's what the country is going to need.*
TODD: He just made the case for Lieberman didn't he? McCain-Lieberman spin.
[...]
*Pawlenty Blasts Obama* (ABC 08/28/08 7:40am)
TIM PAWLENTY: Well I've certainly heard it through news accounts that he's
having a rally in Ohio tomorrow. Speculation is he'll unveil his Vice
Presidential running mate there but beyond that I don't have much I can add
or say about the issue.
DIANNE SAWYER: Have you had any conversations with him? [...] Do you think
in your view the Vice Presidential pick should be pro-life?
PAWLENTY: I think Senator McCain has said he wants an administration,
particularly senior leaders who reflect his values and principles and vision
for the country. He of course is a prolife person. He doesn't have a litmus
test but I think he'll pick someone who shares his values and views. [...]
My goodness its amazing that we're three days into the Democratic Convention
and 50 or days away from the election and they're still pleading with the
American people to convince us that Barack Obama is ready to be President.
The fact of the matter is he is not. President Clinton had 12 years as
Governor as an executive and commander and chief of the national guard
before he became President and Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden
all said during the primary season Barack Obama was not ready. Bill Clinton
called it a roll of the dice. Joe Biden said he wasn't ready for the job as
did Hillary Clinton. And for them to say that he's ready with great
enthusiasm is quite hypocritical, at least inconsistent with what they said
previously. Next is Joe Biden's and Barack Obama's judgment. The record is
replete with they've made a lot of errors in judgment and John McCain has a
steady hand on the throttle.
SAWYER: But on the question of resume, some Democrats have said you're the
same age as Barack Obama. You've been Governor for just two years. You were
in the legislature, he was in the legislature. Does this raise questions
about you being a heartbeat away from being commander in chief.
PAWLENTY: Well setting aside the issue of Vice President, Dianna, I've been
Governor for six years, commander in chief of the Minnesota National Guard
for six years, when I was in the legislature I was also Majority Leader and
done a variety of other things, but the questions for Senator Obama are
continuing to be what have you done and what have you run? His
accomplishments are nonexistent or essentially nonexistent and he hasn't run
anything. *He hasn't been an executive and he hasn't been in charge of
anything. And lastly, the big problem - one of the big problems facing our
country - is the ability to work across party lines and get things done.
John McCain actually has a record in that regard. Barack Obama does not. He
has good oratory, but when you shut the teleprompter off there's not much
else there.*
SAWYER: [...] Does the McCain camp think gee we envy the enthusiasm of
70,000 people in an arena like this
PAWLENTY: I think it feeds right into what Americans are starting to realize
that this is really about celebrity and not much substance. This Roman-like
facade, or facade with Roman columns is a perfect metaphor for or a right
kind for an interesting production, but behind it there's not much there.
And so its almost like he wants to come out and be somebody called it the
other day emperor like in the setting, at least the facade so I think it
feeds into the big hoopla, big production, it's about celebrity, it's about
entertainment. But as with the facade, there's not much behind it.
*Pawlenty: "I think the American people can smell hypocrisy"* (FNC 08/28/08
10:00am)
TIM PAWLENTY*: I think the American people can smell hypocrisy*. A few
months ago you had Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden all saying
Barack Obama wasn't ready to be President. It was a roll of the dice. It was
a fairy tale. He didn't have the requisite experience. And now, not long
ago, Joe Biden said he would be honored to run as John McCain as his vice
President because it would be good for the country.
