Kyl is on the national campaign committee of his fellow senator from Arizona, but was not originally slated to do the nominating honors. According to CNN.com, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was set to nominate McCain, but had to return to his home state to address the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav.

Has Sen. John McCain invited you to Sedona this weekend?  If not, then you probably did not make the first cut of short list candidates for the veep gig.  McCain will be hosting Mitt Romney, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and Florida Governor Charlie Crist at his Sedona cabin this weekend.  The informal meetings are more than likely just an opportunity for some short list candidates and the presumptive nominee to spend some time with each other to see if they can get along.  Kind of like a trial move-in before you propose to make sure you can live together.
