From a breathless Fox News online story:
“SOURCES: McCAIN MAY ANNOUNCE VP CHOICE BEFORE FRIDAY“
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain may announce his choice for a running mate earlier than expected, sources told FOX News on Monday.
McCain had previously said he would announce his vice presidential pick on Friday and would appear with that individual at a rally in Dayton, Ohio, following the announcement. Friday is McCain’s 72nd birthday.
But sources close to McCain’s campaign told FOX News that his decision may come sooner than that — possibly on Thursday, when Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination at Invesco field in Denver, Colo.
McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds diminished the news.
“I wouldn’t much weight into reports that there are windows of possibility,” he said.
I would say the chances of McCain announcing his veep pick on Thursday are just slightly better than the chances of me winning the lottery - & you should know that I never play the lottery. It makes far more tactical sense to do it Friday.
