Speculation McCain to leak VP pick
Posted
Republican White House hopeful John McCain has picked his running mate, his campaign said overnight.
Asked to confirm reports that Senator McCain had made his vice-presidential choice, spokesman Brian Rogers replied "yep" by email.
Reports said the McCain campaign intended to leak out the news in the coming hours in a bid to divert attention away from Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
Senator Obama is due to give an acceptance speech later today before 75,000 people packed into a Denver football stadium in a spectacular climax to the Democrats' four-day convention.
