Will McCain Try to Steal Some of Obama's Thunder?

It had been previously announced that John McCain would appear with his VP nominee at an event on Friday, the day after the Obamessiah's acceptance speech. However, there's nothing to stop him from announcing a day earlier and stealing some of Obama's attention:

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain may announce his choice for a running mate earlier than expected, sources told FOX News on Monday.

McCain had previously said he would announce his vice presidential pick on Friday and would appear with that individual at a rally in Dayton, Ohio, following the announcement. Friday is McCain’s 72nd birthday.

But sources close to McCain’s campaign told FOX News that his decision may come sooner than that — possibly on Thursday, when Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination at Invesco field in Denver, Colo.

McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds diminished the news.

Just as Obama's VP announcement leaked out prior to the official word, it wouldn't surprise me if word gets out on Thursday sometime that the Secret Service has shown up at somebody's house unexpectedly. That how we all found out about Biden. That would give the TV pundits something to discuss in addition to Obama's big stadium speech.
