McCain meets with possible VPs

According to Nagrody, Romney brings management skills, Jinal brings energy and youth, and Crist brings Florida voters.

McCain’s characterization of the meeting: He’s just having a social weekend with ten couples. Nagrody says social interaction is very important to McCain — he likes to make sure he’s comfortable with people before he works with them.

Crist, Jindal and Romney are just three among McCain’s list of about 20 potential running mates.
