Gov. Bobby Jindal and his wife, Supriya, are among 10 couples invited to presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain's Arizona home during the Memorial Day weekend, an invitation fueling speculation that Jindal is on a short list of McCain's running mate prospects.

Jindal and at least two of the other known invitees -- Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney -- have been mentioned as possible candidates on the McCain ticket. But a campaign official said Wednesday that vice presidential vetting isn't on the agenda.
