Introducing Mary Pawlenty
ByThe governor of Minnesota's wife may be his most powerful argument for being McCain's veep:
She is a graduate of Bethel University in Minnesota, which describes itself as teaching a "distinctly evangelical Christian philosophy of education." Mary Pawlenty is also a longtime member of the Wooddale Church and is a close friend of the church's pastor Leith Anderson. (Make sure to check out this profile of Mary Pawlenty from Bethel's alumni magazine that was written in 2000.)
Anderson is a powerful force in the evangelical community, having served as the past and current president of the National Association of Evangelicals.
"If [Pawlenty] were chosen it would reverberate with the 30 million members of those churches almost instantaneously and very publicly," said [Vin] Weber.
