Novak: McCain's VP pick coming this week

Posted at 9:18 PM on July 21, 2008 by Tom Scheck

Robert Novak is reporting that John McCain will name his running mate this week:

Sources close to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign are suggesting he will reveal the name of his vice presidential selection this week while Sen. Barack Obama is getting the headlines on his foreign trip. The name of McCain's running mate has not been disclosed, but Mitt Romney has led the speculation recently.

UPDATE: The Fix is reporting that McCain will meet with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal later this week.

UPDATE: Marc Ambinder says he's "being waved away from this reporting."

UPDATE: Tim Pawlenty (for those of you wondering) has been in Washington DC for the past few days. The governor's office says he'll be in there again tomorrow chairing the Strategic Management of Human Capital Task Force Meeting. The governor's office says the group "is a movement devoted to driving the necessary changes in school districts that will transform human resource processes and procedures to manage talent to dramatically improve classroom instruction, teacher effectiveness and student achievement."
