I think we will have a VP nominee next week
I could be totally wrong and I don't have a clue who the VP pick will be but I think the Obama plan for the VP pick is next week. The olympics are in two weeks and it will give Obama a chance to control the news cycle the week before the olympics. Announce on Friday a decision has been made and will be announced Monday. Talking heads spend all weekend and the Sunday shows speculating. Announce the decision late in the day Monday. Allow a one day break for the reactions and analysis, than on Wednesday do a joint appearence in the news hour introducing the VP nominee.

If McCain announces afterwards its a me-too and he only has Thursday and Friday to butt in.

1. Maybe he'll announce via an ad during the opening ceremonies?
Just adding to the speculation...

2. I agree and the other thing is that they have already said that he is going to take
a one week vacation - good time for the VP to keep up the campaign.
