It's to the campaign's advantage to let the suspense play out. Give the candidates good exposure and announce the pick at a strategically advantageous time. At this point it's all about show and exposure leading up to the convention.

One opinion is as good as the next. Who ever and whenever, I'll support it 100%.

She asked him about choosing a woman of colour for VP, and he said there were excellent candidates among the 6 being considered.

The list of names I posted is based on people who have acknowledged they were going through the 6 week vetting process.
