As it is being reported on Drudgereport.com, John McCain will leak the name of his running mate / vice president around 6pm and then there will be confirmation at 8pm. Keep in mind that Barack Obama is speaking at 10PM.

From Politico:

“The leak of the McCain ticket mate would cause a news frenzy at at time when the Obama campaign wanted viewers to be focused on Obama’s economic and change messages.

McCain campaign communications director Jill Hazelbaker said in an MSNBC appearance that the battleground spot is “an historic ad — I think this is the first of its kind.”

“Sen. McCain is going to have an ad that’s going to air in battleground states around the time that Sen. Obama is speaking tonight,” Hazelbaker said. “He’s going to be talking directly to his opponent. So, I’m going to leave it there. But it’s going be very exciting. I think that a lot of people are going to focus on it.”"

I think it will be Mitt Romney but we will know in a few hours…
