UPDATE (8:00 pm ET): Alright, we should have heard by now according to earlier reports. Now it's looking all like a tease. And now there's news out that Romney's sister's house may not have gotten the special treatment from the Secret Sevice.
If the Secret Service is vetting his family in advance of his brother’s selection as John McCain’s running mate, Scott Romney, the brother of Mitt Romney, said early this evening that it’s news to him.
Scott Romney said he doesn’t know anything about the Secret Service sweeping his sister’s house as reported earlier today by the Web site of The Hill newspaper in Washington.
UPDATE: According to a source from DRUDGE there will be an unofficial announcement at 6 pm ET and an official announcement at 8 pm ET. So stay tuned.
We basically found out Joe Biden was Barack Obama's running mate when the Secret Service was sent to his home. Now we have a security sweep by the Secret Service at one of Romney's family members.
If security sweeps are the giveaway, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney may be on the brink of being selected as Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) vice presidential running mate.
According to sources with strong Michigan ties, the Secret Service has conducted a security sweep of the home of Romney’s sister. Romney was raised in Michigan, where his father served as governor.
However, one campaign operative familiar with the working of a presidential-level campaign cautioned that a sweep of such a location could have been conducted in advance of Romney appearing as a surrogate — not the vice presidential nominee — at an upcoming McCain campaign stop in Michigan.

The security sweep is like the Willy Wonka golden ticket, it seems!

It is a tease. Kathy comes out and yells it's Tim Pawlenty its all over the net... I said, Kathy you know better they are floating everything tonight. I see that Romney's stock to a huge drop since the rumors came out on Pawlenty. He would be a great pick either way. He is 47 and will be 48 in Nov. Lived in MN all his life. so that executive is important and is the leader of Govenors. He could help take MN. But he has never won with over 50%. I am still thinking Romney is the pick but maybe Mccain has other ideas for him and that will keep those embarrasing commercials of Romney fighting with McCain. I will be happy with either.
