Pawlenty on GOP veep spot: 'It was an honor to be considered'

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty says he won't be joining Sen. John McCain at a campaign event where the presumptive GOP nominee is expected to introduce his running mate to supporters this morning in Ohio.

"All I can say is that I’m not going to be there. I plan to be at the state fair. You can draw your conclusion from that," Pawlenty tells WCCO-AM, according to the Star Tribune.

Here's more from WCCO-TV:

The governor told WCCO Radio's Eric Eskola that he will be at the Minnesota State Fair Friday, doing his radio show.
"You're not going to be there so we can just say point-blank, you're not the nominee?" Eskola asked Pawlenty.

"All I can say is that I'm not going to be there and I plan on being at the State Fair and so you can draw your conclusions from that," Pawlenty said. "I just can't comment further at this time."
