Rumors Abound Over McCain's VP Pick

Alexander Burns of Politico examines all the rumors surrounding John McCain's possible selection of a vice presidential running mate, which may or may not be leaked today.

Some of the highlights:

Last night and earlier today it looked like Sen. John McCain had settled on a running mate, with word leaking to Politico that the veep-to-be would get the call from McCain today.

Then McCain decided to make things complicated.

In a morning interview McCain told Pittsburgh radio station KDKA that he hasn’t made up his mind, though he will be bringing Mitt Romney and Tom Ridge to his rally in Pennsylvania this weekend.

KDKA: “McCain said in an early morning radio interview that he was bringing along to that event both former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, two of the leading names on his short list. But he cautioned against assuming that meant either one would be the pick.”

And Burns also writes:

CBS affiliate WCCO is reporting that Tim Pawlenty has wiped his Friday schedule clean. A sign that he’ll be otherwise engaged? Like everything else he does this week: it could be.
