When you read news like this it makes you wonder if McCain really does want to be President of the United States.
He and everyone connected to him has to already understand that McCains previous immigration stance and attack on free speech with McCain /Feingold seriously weakens any possibility of him winning an election. Only the fact that Obama is a wannbe Communist gives McCain a fighting chance. If he adds to his negatives with a staunch pro-choicer or semi-democrat running mate he might as well go ahead and stick his head in the oven because he is DONE.........

Who still believe the Dem party propaganda being spit out by these washed up Wash Compost /Time magazine leftists? This website is a non stop Obama fan club and this crap is just another spin piece cooked up by the Barry fan club and fed to the masses as a fact.

Joe L. would be a BIG problem.

Mr. Ridge? I can’t say I’d be too enthusiastic about him, but I have to vote for McCain.

I seriously doubt this.

I just heard a FOX News break on the radio that said that Tom Ridge is NOT on the list for VP. Then I hear Hannity repear Tom Ridge’s name in the next segment as a possible VP pick. Talk about conflicting messages. :^/

I still call “bull” on this. It doesn’t make any sense after Saturday, and the promise McCain made to pro-life conservatives. It doesn’t mamke sense at all. McCain may be a stubborn old codger, but he is not stupid.

Someone needs to run an article about Obama vetting Bay Buchanan.

Dems floating this? Again and again.

Not the Dems...it's the McCain campaign under Carly Fiorina making phone calls to the delegates and high donors prepping them for a Leiberman VP pick. Rush talked about it today.

This is one of the few things McCain could do that would keep me from voting for him.

Same here. If he picks a lib dem like Lieberman, I'm gonna pull the emergency cord on the "Straight Talk Express" and say "this is my stop-I'm getting off here"..

Lindsey Graham the John Edwards in the Pub party. Knows he has no future and cannot re take the Senate. May as well ‘run’ for A.G. or some other post. A most despicable McCain toady.

RNC: McCain Won’t Choose Abortion-Supporting Running Mate

in the last 36 hours, senior McCain advisers and aides have told RNC officials that McCain “got the message” last week that choosing a running mate who supports abortion rights would not be helpful.

No, but Rush said Carly Fiorino was one of the ones calling delegates saying it was Lieberman, and delegates who had been called were contacting him. Hannity’s basically freaking out.

I can believe the MSM would stir the pot, but I can’t believe Rush would unless he had it on good authority.

Good point. The Republican voter may have to decide to let the RATS have it and come back strong later or just go along with the status quo.

Unfortunately most of the Republican senators are in the Lindsey Graham mode.

Tough choices for all of us.

Lieberman isn’t too bad but it’s terrible to have too old guys on the ticket. McCain needs someone young good looking energetic who will take Obama to task (surrogate attacks)

Rush and Hannity are both saying they’ve heard the same from Republican delegates.

Thank you. FRiends, Rush has heard from delegates directly. This is happening. Please make some calls, send emails, it's time for action!

FREEPER CALL TO ACTION- Just say NO to Pro-Choice VP!
