McCain hosted a Memorial Day cookout to thank the people helping him campaign.

Crist is on the short list to become McCain’s running mate.

Crist says the food was good and the Vice President nomination didn’t come up.

"It wasn't discussed at all," said Crist. "It was a great weekend. Senator McCain is a great cook, he enjoys grilling out and he does a superlative job of it. I ate too much, but I enjoyed it."

Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal were also at the cookout.
