McCain to pick VP this week?

That's what Bob Novak is saying...  From his latest:

Sources close to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign are suggesting he will reveal the name of his vice presidential selection this week while Sen. Barack Obama is getting the headlines on his foreign trip. The name of McCain's running mate has not been disclosed, but Mitt Romney has led the speculation recently.

I hate to predict against Novak, but I'm a little doubtful.  This is about the biggest PR arrow McCain has in his quiver right now, and I think it's much better used either to step on Obama's convention bounce next month, (ie. announce it the day after Obama's convention speech)...or during the week of the GOP convention, to increase the attention paid to his own nomination.  But we'll see.
