Detroit News: Camp Romney Fine-Tuning Its Tune

Eagle-eyed colleague Zach Beauchamp offers up a tidbit from the Detroit News reporting that Mitt Romney's spokesman refused to reiterate past Romney claims that he has not had contact with John McCain about the vice presidential spot on McCain's ticket.

Here's the key sentence from Gordon Trowbridge's report:

Asked Wednesday if that statement still was accurate, Eric Fehrnstrom, a longtime spokesman for Romney, said he had no comment on the issue, "and that includes not revisiting prior statements on the subject."

Contact could mean Romney is high on McCain's list or it could mean that he has been told it won't be him. And, of course, Fehrnstrom doesn't even confirm that there has been contact.

McCain told FOX News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday that he had not made a pick yet.

A little more idle speculation: Romney has been on vacation this week. What would you do in advance of a three-month national campaign?
