Gov. Perdue brushes aside speculation that he could be McCain's VP pick

ATLANTA (AP)- Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, mentioned in some
circles as a longshot vice presidential pick, said he hasn't been
asked for his tax information by the campaign of presumptive
Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

Such scrutiny typically precedes a candidate's selection as vice
president.

Perdue was asked about the screening following a Monday rally at
the state Capitol for McCain, where several hundred Republicans
gathered.

Among them were Perdue and U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, who along
with Sen. Saxby Chambliss are the honorary co-chairs of McCain's
campaign in Georgia.

They discounted the notion that Democrat Barack Obama could win
in Georgia, which has been voting solidly Republican in statewide
races in recent years.
