Conservative columnist Robert Novak reports today that sources close to John McCain are "suggesting" that his vice presidential pick will be announced this week.
"We have nothing to announce today," McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said via e-mail.
One of the mentioned told me this evening that he could not confirm the
report. If McCain does announce his pick, he could steal the thunder
from Barack Obama's trip to Iraq, Afghanistan and Europe.
It would be the earliest before a convention that a No. 2 would have been revealed, according to legwork done by CQ political guru Greg Giroux. The existing record: John Kerry announced John Edwards 20 days before the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
It would also sharply reduce the number of subjects of speculation for this blog.
