McCain To Announce Veep Pick Before Friday ?

by Doug Mataconis @ 9:13 pm on August 25, 2008.

Last week, we learned that John McCain would announce his choice for his Vice-Presidential running mate this Friday in Ohio.

Today, Fox News reports that McCain may make the announcement earlier than that in an effort to undercut Barack Obama’s convention buzz:

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.

Whether it happens or not, this is yet another sign that the McCain Campaign is doing a fairly good job so far of staying in the headlines during what is supposed to be Barack Obama’s week.
