Republican Rumors, FWIW [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Was just talking to a GOP strategist. His read is: Ridge isn't happening. Has at least one RNC official who has been told by the McCain campaign that Ridge is out — will not be the VP, not being considered.
(I'll totally believe that. Ridge makes little sense for reasons already stated — scroll down, see homepage.)
GOP strategist adds that a Lieberman pick would require the waiving of a RNC rule that currently says VP nominee must be a registered Republican for at least 60 days.
(I still think this is all a headfake so pro-lifers will be grateful when the worst doesn't happen.)
His RNC guy says Pawlenty is high on the list.
