Will McCain open the VP nomination to the convention floor?‏

Settled as No

In 1956 the democratic presidential nominee basically said picking a VP was too hard, so he opened up the nominating process to the floor of the convention. Kennedy missed being the VP nominee by a few votes.

It's said if he had gotten the nomination in 200, Mccain was going to bring 3 picks to the floor and let the floor decide.

So the question is will he nominate more then 1 VP nominee and let the floor decide. Could also be settled as Yes if the nominates no one and lets the convention decide who should be VP.

Previous question was voided due to odds. They suggested 5% chance, so that's the new odds.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
