A lot of stuff in the Wall Street Journal's editorial on (mostly) John McCain's VP candidates. Writes the Journal, "This means choosing someone who voters think has the stature to be President from the outset, and also doesn't give up Mr. McCain's clear experience edge over Mr. Obama." That rules out Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, Meg Whitman, Fred Smith and basically anyone who's too young or too inexperienced politically.

Over at National Review Online, Ramesh Ponnuru takes the Journal to task:

[I]t treated health care as the main reason not to pick Romney, but didn't mention Pawlenty's record on health care at all. Which is arguably to the left of Romney's. Pawlenty appointed a task force that recommended an individual mandate, he opposed Bush's veto of S-Chip, he wants to use the government's bargaining power to bring drug prices down, raised tobacco taxes, etc.

To understand where Ponnuru is coming from, just read what the Club for Growth has had to say about Pawlenty.

Curiously missing from the Journal's list of candidates they like and don't like is Eric Cantor.
