McCain Ready to pick his Veep?
John McCain is “in a position to make the decision [about his VP] on short notice if he wanted to.” according to one of McCain’s top advisers, Charles Black.
I’m reading from this that McCain has picked his VP choice, but hasn’t asked him or her to actually be his running mate. But perhaps he’s already asked and is waiting to announce his choice.
There’s a big issue of timing here.
The Olympics start in twelve days (08.08.08). The Democratic Convention starts the day after the Olympics end (08.25.08). The Republican Convention starts four days after the Dems end (09.01.08).
Insiders are saying Barack Obama will announce before the Olympics start, and John McCain will announce soon (maybe before Obama announces).
All-in-all, we don’t really know when either candidate will announce, but it will be sooner rather than later.
