On Wednesday McCain hosted former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, current Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and sitting Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal in
Sedona, Arizona. A total of 10 couples were invited. Romney, 61, lost the Republican nomination battle to McCain, but has made clear he would
seriously consider a vice presidential offer.
Crist, 51, hand picked successor to popular Jeb Bush, took office last year but has been more coy. Picking him could help McCain in the battleground
state of Florida. Jindal, 36, who was elected last October as the first Indian-American U.S. governor, has said he likes his current job.
McCain's vice presidential search has been a closely guarded secret. He has said he has a list of about 20 names and would like to pick someone
before the Republican nominating convention in early September. South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, a longtime McCain adviser, is expected to
attend along with Connecticut’s Sen. Joe Lieberman now an Independent and a McCain supporter who was the 2000 Dems vice presidential nominee with Al
Gore.
McCain's campaign promised to release Friday the details of his medical history to assure Americans that at age 71 he is healthy for the rigors of
being commander-in-chief. From a report by Reuters
