From CNN Political Producer Kristi Keck ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) – Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty addressed the Republican convention Thursday night, but it was a far cry from the VP address that many once thought he would give. His address Thursday came early — around 7 p.m. local time. Delegates were still filing in as he was speaking, and many inside the Xcel Center talked throughout his speech. The delegations seated close to the stage were paying attention and chanting "John McCain," but in other parts of the room, it was hard to hear what he was saying over all of the chatter. Pawlenty was considered one of the top contenders for John McCain's VP slot on the GOP ticket. Filed under: Republican National Convention • Tim Pawlenty
