Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, is having a party at his house this weekend, and three potential running mates are invited. The New York Times reported that McCain is hosting Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, and former rival Mitt Romney at his ranch, fueling speculation that they are at the top of his veep list.
