Has McCain's Vice Presidential choice been leaked?

John McCain's website already has a picture of McCain and Romney together that announces Romney has been selected for his VP. The image was found at johnmccain.com/images/vp/romney1.jpg but has since been taken down. You can view it here: img362.imageshack.us/img362/4746/romney1ccm8.jpg

Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, is reporting that the Secret Service has been checking out Mitt Romney's house -- a possible sign that he's about to get protection, as McCain's running mate. He's certainly the top contender.

Roll Call article:
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.
