Senator John McCain has decided on his running mate, two Republican strategists in contact with McCain's campaign said Wednesday. He is expected to reveal his choice at a rally at a basketball arena in Dayton, Ohio, at 11 a.m. Friday.
McCain's decision is known only to his small inner circle of advisers, no more than three or four people, who have refused all public discussion on the matter. Republicans close to the campaign said that the top contenders remained the same three men who have been the source of speculation for weeks: former Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and, possibly, Senator Joseph Lieberman, independent of Connecticut.

Im too busy so McCain will probably pick someone else....
Ridge. Or some other RINO.
We are so screwed.
Yawn!
Thought you were serious!
Cap-and-trade and Amnesty = qualification #1 in the selection process.
Be prepared to be disappointed no matter who he selects.
Meg Whitman would be an isnpired choice. It would destroy Obama’s change message.
What is the biggest voter frustration? That politicans continue to act like politicians no matter what they promise. That’s why both parties in congress have such low ratings. The promise change, but keep doing the same old things.
Obama’s entire campaign is based on one word: “change”. McCain can point out that Obama hasn’t changed anything since he has been in the senate, and Biden is a lifetime politician that is part of the problem.
Love him or hate him, nobody can deny McCain has stuck his neck out and stood alone (often against his own party) simply because he thought he was doing the right thing.
Has Obama done that even once?
A McCain/Whitman ticket would become the Maverick/Outsider ticket. Their campaign slogan would be: “If you want someone that PROMISES change, then vote Obama, but if you want REAL change vote McCain/Whitman.”
Whitman is pro-choice. That loses a large segment of the base.
