It won't be Ridge or Lieberman?

At this point, the veepstakes are still very much a guessing game, but here's some talk that goes against the idea of putting Tom Ridge or Joe Lieberman at the bottom of the ticket:

Was just talking to a GOP strategist. His read is: Ridge isn't happening. Has at least one RNC official who has been told by the McCain campaign that Ridge is out — will not be the VP, not being considered.

[...]

GOP strategist adds that a Lieberman pick would require the waiving of a  RNC rule that currently says VP nominee must be a registered Republican for at least 60 days.

I hadn't heard that about the RNC party affiliation rules.  If Lieberman had switched his party affiliation, I'm pretty certain we would have heard about it by now. 

For what it's worth, the same source says that Gov. Tim Pawlenty is high on the list.
