The St. Paul Pioneer-Press's excellent blog, The Political Animal, adds another detail to our earlier nugget about Pawlenty pulling out of some Minnesota events tomorrow:
Pawlenty's public events schedule, release[d] Friday afternoon, listed no public events for Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Indeed. According to Ambinder's rumor, the idea was to introduce the veep pick to top supporters and moneymen at the ranch today, then announce him/her tomorrow...
