[h=3]By SARA MURRAY and COLLEEN MCCAIN NELSON[/h]NORFOLK, Va.--Mitt Romney will announce his vice presidential candidate Saturday morning, the first day of his four-state bus tour, the campaign said Friday.
"On Saturday, Mitt Romney will begin his "The Romney Plan For A Stronger Middle Class" bus tour by announcing his choice for Vice Presidential candidate in Norfolk, Virginia," the campaign said in a press release.
Mr. Romney will announce his running mate at a 9 a.m. event in Norfolk, his campaign said. His running mate will be revealed at a stop at the U.S.S. Wisconsin.
The campaign made the announcement late Friday evening, but did not say who the pick would be.
Speculation has centered on several surrogates who have campaigned with the Republican presidential candidate in recent weeks, including former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Ohio Sen. Ron Portman, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.
The presumptive Republican nominee is expected to appear alongside Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell Saturday but so far there's no indication that he will be the vice presidential pick.
