South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford insists that Senator John McCain will not choose Sanford to be his running-mate.


Sanford said today that he is going to the GOP convention in Minneapolis on September 1st but he is not slated to speak, and says he's not going there "for the reason you think".


Since McCain secured the delegates needed to become the nominee speculation ran wild that Sanford would be on the shortlist of VP candidates.


"I'll be proven right in the next couple of weeks and we can move on to the next story", said Sanford.


He wouldn't speculate on who McCain would tab as his number two, but said he is confident the senator will make the right choice.


Sanford made the remarks during an interview after a news conference where he urged South Carolinians to call their representatives and senators to urge them to return to Columbia to work on budget problems.
