Well, after listening to NPR, CNN, and FOX all day, the McCain Campaign has made a VP decision. All NPR has been talking about is Pawlenty. He has canceled all Media meetings, and cleared his schedule. McCain will introduce his VP tomorrow in Dayton, OH.

Pawlenty is also attending the DNC tonight. It seems to me that McCain's VP choice is becoming clear: Pawlenty. He has been the 'talk' on the radio all day. There is a good chance that he will be VP.

On the other hand, Mitt Romney was seen leaving his house with an overnight bag (geeezz, I sound like a stalker ).

Well, what are your thoughts on this?

I'm calling for a big shocker....Bloomberg. And if he does choose Bloomberg, the Obama camp needs to be worried.

I think the McCain campaign is having a little fun at the media's expense. Everyone is reading too much into this stuff and most likely, its just disinformation that McCain is using to keep a little attention focused on his campaign this week.

Very True. By annocing his VP right on Obama's historic nomination, McCain is stealing the spotlight, yet again. Pawlenty seems like he might be his VP, but think of this. McCain has a family history of health problems between 70-80 years old. McCain is 72. I say there is a good chance his VP might need to take the presidency either temporary, or permanently if McCain dies in office.

I don't think it will be leaked either. With Obama, it was different since he was announcing by texting. Obama wants to steal tomorrow from the democrats with their historical nomination. Not tonight.

Well, you might add one more name to the list: Sarah Palin. It seems that someone chartered two private flights from Anchorage, Alaska to Middleton, OH yesterday and both departing and arriving within minutes of each other. Palin was in Anchorage yesterday. Middleton is just outside Dayton, where McCain has stated he intends to make his announcement.

Again, there's no confirmation that she was on one of them, but it is awfully interesting and is something making the rounds very early this morning.

Sarah Palin is a very smart choice.

Her selection will appeal to Hilary voters - largest undecided voters are women. I'd have to say it is pretty certain a female will the republican vice president nomination - even though I thought Romney would be his choice.

MSNBC is reporting that Pawlenty has been informed that he is NOT the choice. Also, Mitt Romney will not be in Dayton, where the announcement is going to be made. So, unless it's done by satellite, it won't be Romney, who I thought would be the Republican's choice.

Palin may be an option. But she doesn't seem "presidential" to me. In McCain's situation, he needs to have someone that will be able to take over. I know that's crude, but it's on people's minds. Also, I don't think picking a woman is going to woo voters as would appear to be the purpose of this move.

And Joe Lieberman is chained to a radiator in Hartford.

I wasn't going to vote for McCain (or Obama) but Palin might change that.
I'll need to know more about her.

Write in Paul, throw it away on Barr or bite my tongue and default to McCain? Maybe Palin will make the McCain pill easier to swallow. Romney or Pawlenty wouldn't have.

Condi Rice?

1. Black
2. Woman

Or is she a little too close to the current administration to be appealing?

I'm really enjoying all this speculation - wooo - because it proves how many people are connected to the media by the rings in their noses.

This morning I turned on the MSM for the first time in weeks.

I personally think she would be an exceptional choice, quite hot too lol

Apparently she will be in Alaska though

this Gov. Palin, does have 5 children... but most notably the recent birth child has downs syndrome, that alone would seem to be quite a distraction to perform as a would-be VP.

And she might be viewed as having 'cold & calculating ambition' by the Dems in a smear campaign... if the contest gets heated up in the final weeks of election day
