Romney Stands by Anti-Abortion VP Pledge

There's not a ton of news coming out of Mitt Romney's interview tour on Bain Capital this evening. In an interview with ABC's Jonathan Karl, the Republican presidential candidate made this comment that would seem to deflate the latest Condi-for-VP boomlet:

KARL: I want to ask you about a report that popped up about Condoleezza Rice being near the top of your list of potential running mates. I know you’re not talking about the vice presidential search process but just tell me this: you said earlier that your running mate will be pro-life. Do you still stand by that.

ROMNEY: I don’t have anything for you on the vice presidential process. I of course stand by the things I have said during the campaign. But I have nothing for you on the VP front.

Unless Romney's pledge on abortion is permeable in a way that's not immediately obvious, or Rice has changed her views, that would seem to be the end of that.

LOL. I imagine Romney could take a Tommygun, line up every abortion practitioner from Maine to Hawaii, and blow them away Al Capone style, there would still be people who would insist, “Nothin’ but a publicity stunt.”

Thanks - I was trying to formulate an adequate response when I saw yours. The "gotta stop Romney even if it kills us" crew seems to exhibit a lot of Left-wing tendencies and narrow scope of vison.

Do you sincerely believe that Romney is a bigger threat to this nation than Barack Hussein Obama?

Who would you rather have burn down your house, the arsonist in the blue shirt or the arsonist in the red shirt?

The arsonist in the red shirt will use less accelerant, so your house will burn slower. You could say he's less of a threat.

Unfortunately, both choices result in your house burning down.

Good point. But. I have to pass on providing the fuel for either.

Pavlov always irritated me.

I trust Romney 100% more than Obama. But Mittens is still not my ideal candidate. I would’ve preferred Newt or Perry.
