I think Pawlenty has been in on the real game for at least a week. Remember his last denial—the one that wasn't taken seriously because it was supposed to be "part of the dance"?

"I'm not the guy," he said.

And the last time he was interviewed, he reiterated some of the highlights of his resume.

A good soldier, Pawlenty: like Patton. And I'll bet he didn't enjoy it any more than Patton did the runup to D-Day, but the element of surprise is important in these matters.

Word has it that this morning, Palin's staffers still thought she was in Alaska, and that her own mother found out that she was the VP pick from watching television today. I actually believe those two reports: the more people who are in on a secret, the higher the risk.

But I think Pawlenty knew. "I'm not the guy." Nice little red herring, Dude. And you're a heck of a sport.
