GOP News...

Sources have it that McCain's VP pick is going to come some time this week, while Obama is messing around on his trip in Europe, Iraq and Afghanistan. No word on who yet, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say either Mitt Romney or Charlie Crist- and my money is probably on Romney. People say Pawlenty or Jindal a lot, but Jindal needs to stay where he is and Pawlenty couldn't even flip Minnesota for McCain in the primary- he's an even longer shot to do it for the general. Romney on the other hand could open up Michigan and that block of voters who use a lot of hair products. Crist could nail down Florida, where I believe McCain could use some help right now. (Think the latest polls have Obama up big, but that was awhile ago.)

Interestingly enough though, Politico says the choices have narrowed, but no decision this week, while Novak seems to think it's gonna come down this week. Time will tell, I guess.

From Minnesota, the RNC got the keys to the XCEL Center today and set-up is underway for the Republican Convention.
