South Dakota Senator Says He Won't Be McCain's VP

 Campaign '08 Complete Coverage

 About The Candidates & Issues

WASHINGTON (AP) ― Sen. John Thune says he's out of the running to be John McCain's vice presidential nominee.

Thune , an early McCain supporter who has been a mouthpiece for the campaign, said Monday he has not given the campaign any personal documents used to vet prospective running mates.

Speaking of the selection process he said he had talked to McCain's campaign a little bit about the issue and added, "I would say I'm out of the running."

There has been some speculation that the 47-year-old Thune was an attractive prospect for the GOP ticket, partly because of his relative youth and his successful campaign to oust Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota in 2004.
