Breaking News: Pawlenty Not VP Pick, Sarah Palin Rumors Gain Steam

CNN has just confirmed that Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, who appeared the frount runner as of late last night, is NOT John McCain's choice for vice-president. Mitt Romney also appears unlikely at this point.

Sarah Palin has gotten a lot of media converage this morning, as a private jet from Alaska that fits bill of Palin landed this morning about 20 miles from where McCain is supposed to release his choice.

There are still a number of dark horses that should not be ruled out at the moment and those are: Tom Ridge (Pennsylvania), Joe Lieberman (Connecticut), and Rob Portman (Ohio).

Mitt Romney is still not out of the question, but he doesn't appear to have any plans to go to Ohio as of last report. Tom Ridge is also very unlikely at this point, as he said he also has no plans of heading to Ohio.
