VP de McCain, inminente (mañana o pasado)

Leído a Ambinder:

(...) Perhaps hoping to turn a fresh page from the Democratic convention, advisers to Sen. John McCain are considering a Thursday night vice presidential announcement, an aide said yesterday, although the unofficial word from campaign headquarters is that Friday is still more likely.

The prospect of a slightly earlier announcement has some Republicans worried that McCain has settled on Sen. Joe Lieberman., They assume that the campaign would not risk the bad form associated with jumping on Obama's night if McCain announces a traditional pick, such as Gov. Mitt Romney or Gov. Tim Pawlenty. (...)

La explicación a la presencia de Lieberman en la supuesta lista de finalistas, podríamos encontrarla en Gallup. Según la encuestadora, una de las razones del estancamiento de Obama estaría en la resistencia de los que se describen como demócratas conservadores, entre los que Lieberman se mantiene como una figura popular.
