DENVER (CNN) – John McCain has decided on his running mate and will officially reveal his pick on Friday in Ohio, multiple sources tell CNN.
A knowledgeable Republican source says there the matter was settled at a major meeting of McCain's advisers Wednesday.
The Arizona senator’s choice has not yet been told of the decision, but the plan is to call tomorrow. A handful of names of dominated VP speculation in recent days, including former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, independent Senator Joe Lieberman, and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty.
The presumptive Republican nominee will appear with his prospective running mate at a massive rally on August 29, the day after Barack Obama formally accepts the Democratic presidential nomination.
The McCain campaign is hoping to have 15,000 people at the Ohio rally — roughly five times the size of his largest crowd to date.

who cares
Was for Hillary – THANK YOU!! America needs you!!
McCain=no future
Obama=future
This is so sad. Didn't McCain's camp learn anything from that awful pea-green speech he gave in that empty lodge hall the same night Obama clinched the nomination? Does he really want to do this? I dont care who McCain's VP pick is, no one will give it even half the amount of airtime that Obama got with his announcement. This will not be good. I dont know why they're trying to compete like this. Should have just done it on Tuesday and try and hog up next week...but nope, envy and jealousy are clouding their reasoning once again. Oh well.
Could it still possibly be Mike Huckabee? Hope so.
I think he'll pick Joe Liberman. That will be a big blow to Democrats. He need someone that can help him appeal to the undecided voters. It's clear that McCain want to appeal to every American and they have a plan at least.
Let's see how many people show up!!!
Who flippin cares? A losing ticket by all accounts. I love the DNC's convention. I promise to vote, support the dems from this day forward
Watch him not leak it out at all, this could be just something cause many powerful people spoke tonight.
I hope he picks someone like Libermean...Biden would crush him =]
WONDER IF HE IS GOING TO HAVE DADDY YANKEE PERFORM AT THE CONVENTION NEXT WEEK?.....DOUBT IT
I hope McBush adds Mittens to the ticket. Then Obama can roll out all the nasty sound clips that Mittens laid on McBush during the primary. Besides nobody will help conservatives run further away from voting for McBush then that would be car salesman Romney on the ticket. And no, Karl Rove game will not work this time around. America is better that.
No How, No Way, No McCain!
PUMA=People Under McBush's Authority
