2008, McCain, Romney
From NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy and NBC's Kelly O'Donnell
On his campaign charter plane,
McCain spoke to reporters about
Romney’s comments in a television interview that aired last night where he said he would be “honored” to serve as McCain’s running mate.
When a reporter said that it sounded like Romney would be open to sharing the ticket with him, a smiling McCain said he understood that Romney had mentioned his interest in serving as running mate.
“I got that impression,” he said.
He went on to say that his campaign is “just starting the process.”
“We’ve had at least a hundred volunteers to lead the search effort for the VP candidate,” McCain said, smiling again, of supporters volunteering their advice. “Incredible acts of generosity and willingness to serve the country.”
In describing the campaign’s steps so far towards defining their VP selection process McCain predicted that they should have a process nailed down with the next “few days or a week.”
