Vice Presidents often become Presidents. That’s why it matters.
Especially given McCain's age and history. That is also why it is foolish to pick a democRAT, even of the Scoop Jackson variety (sorry Joe), or an open borders proponent (sorry Lindsey), or a political lightweight (sorry Huck).
EXACTLY.
Since we HAVE to swollow a John McCain, we SHOULDN’T have to swollow a Tom Ridge, Rudy Giuliani, Crist, Liberman, etc.
We DESERVE a Vice President who would carry on with mainstream Republican values.
A pro-death viewpoint indicates either a failure to understand some very basic principles of biology or a complete disregard for the sanctity of human life...it's got to be one or the other. Neither is desireable in a VP.
