Otherwise, many will stay home or vote 3rd party.

The time for petulant, childish behavior is between elections and during the Primaries. During General Elections this behavior supports and elects the opposition. That is unless you think obama will make for a better choice.

Like many others I and my family will certainly stay home on election day if McCain chooses a pro-death running mate. The danger that he will do so originates from the narrow circle frequented by Washington insiders. The journalists, lobbyists,country club donors, and congressional staffers that are McCain's world are virtually all pro-abortion. This gives McCain and his advisors the mistaken impression that the pro-life issue is dead. But it is not, as McCain will learn to his sorrow if he picks a Ridge or Lieberman as VP.
