McCain Has Made His VP Pick

The Politico reported last night that John McCain has chosen his VP. The New York Times has more details:

Mr. McCain's decision is known only to his small inner circle of advisers, no more than three or four people, who have refused all public discussion on the matter. Republicans close to the campaign said that the top contenders remained the same three men who have been the source of speculation for weeks: former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and, possibly, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut.

...

Mr. McCain's inner circle was described as divided on the choices, although one Republican close to the campaign said there had been no raging internal debate. Whatever the aides' opinions, Mr. McCain was said to have made the decision on his own.

Karl Rove reportedly called Lieberman and asked him to withdraw his name from consideration. Lieberman refused.
