CLEVELAND (AP) - The Memorial Day guest list at Sen. John McCain's Arizona home runs to at least three Republicans mentioned as vice presidential running mates, but a top aide said Wednesday that vetting possible veeps is not on the agenda.
"It's purely social," said Mark Salter, a senior adviser to McCain.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney were all invited to a Memorial Day gathering at the senator's home in Sedona, Ariz. Romney ran for the Republican presidential nomination in last winter's primaries, but dropped out months ago and has endorsed McCain.
Ten couples in all were invited. McCain often hosts friends and political acquaintances at his compound.
McCain said more than a month ago that he was in the "embryonic stages" of selecting a running mate for the fall campaign, but neither he nor aides have disclosed additional information in the weeks since.

Ugh, don’t even start me on that travesty of justice. How can they overturn the votes of millions, a margin of 61% to 39%? And it is just going to get worse.
I agree. Jeb Bush is probably finished as a politician. Too bad.
Yep, are you talking about Bill Frist? Former wimpy leader of the Senate? I just ready his biography.
Nothing. He'll be perfect!
In their political philosphy, not much that I can see. I will be beyond disappointed in Bobby Jindal if he were to join a ticket with McCain. Extremely disappointed.
Bobby Jindal is very conservative, pissant.
Ain't that just the truth!
Were I him, and if I won, it would be Ayers or Rev. Wright just to piss off us...
You mean Governor Suntan, the guy who doesn't own a home or pay property taxes or bother himself with things like a wife and kids and tuition and working in the private sector for even a day and lives with his mom when hes not playing Governor?
Seems like just the choice a psycho like McCain would make.
Was it you that said you were voting for Hillary?
No Frist mentioned, but I’m glad he’s doing well. LOL
That is what I’ve always heard about him. Ask abb. He lives down there.
I live here too and was a small part in Jindal’s campaign. I’ve had face to face discussions with him on issues like 2A, taxes and smaller government. He is impressive.
All the pats they can give each other on the back.
They are politicians afterall.
Wow, I must be tired. I saw Frist, instead of Crist. Sorry about that...Now I have to look up Crist. LOL.
Is Duncan Hunter interested in the job?
If so, we could try to lobby the McCain campaign.
McCain and Hunter have locked horns on far too many policies these last few years. There is no chance of that happening.
Watts would be a great choice but I don’t see it happening.
For better or worse? Bobby's one of the few people McCain could run with that could make me vote for him. A good friend of mine was a staffer of his in Congress, and he's definitely the real deal. Super-intelligent dude who's fascinating to chat with, and a heck of a nice guy to boot.
