GOP Vice President's press secretary hired; Update: Dark Horse?

But what does it mean?

News comes in today that Maria Comella, formerly of the Giuliani campaign, has been hired by the McCain campaign to be press secretary to the eventual vice-presidential nominee. Is it a sign? For Rudy? For someone like Pawlenty, who presumably doesn't have a press secretary with national experience? Is it a sign that it definitely won't be someone established? Lieberman, Romney ... these people all have their own people. Or does mean nothing much more than that the McCain campaign wants to have the structure together before the name is announced?
Unlike the Democrats, we (well, at least everyone besides K-LO) know that this doesn't mean that Rudy will be the veep.

I'm agreeing with K-Lo's theory.  This move leads one to think it's not someone with either much national experience or a national team. 

Update: Somewhat related.  If John McCain is going to pick a Democrat, how about former Louisiana Sen. John Breaux?  Besides the one glaring problem of being a Democrat, Breaux would hurt McCain's (ridiculous) anti-lobbyist message.
