Sooooooo, in case you missed the logic, if McCain doesn’t pick a pro-life, conservative VP running mate, we can’t trust him to pick originalists judges, either, and would be better off with 4 years of Obama for the chance of 8 years of a true conservative after Obama. Think about it.

Oh I understand the logic very well, however, I believe the logic is so flawed on many levels. First just because 4 years of Carter gave us 8 years of Reagan does not mean 4 years of Obama will give us another conservative president. What you seem to miss is that a lot of damage can be done in 4 years as Germany found out with Hitler. You seem to think that only 2 liberal judges are the only ones Obama could replace, but people die unexpectedly all the time. But let's say that he only replaces the 2 liberal judges with young ones that we are stuck with for decades, then it would be conservative judges that would be up for replacement and there s no telling what ideaology that President may hold.

According to you we could "Bork" Obama's nominees but for wahtever reason you believe it would be harder to "Bork" McCain's (if we even needed to) or his pro-choice VP's judicial nominees should something happen to McCain.

But far beyond pro-life vs. pro-chioce, there are many other important issues as well. Gun control - gun confiscation, taxes, security, freedom, liberty, entitlement increases just to name a few.

So in case you miss my point you are employing such tunnel-vision that you miss the big picture.

Lastly, what did Reagan do for pro-life except give it lip service in his 8 years as President? Roe v Wade still exists as law.

No, conservatives, which I consider myself to be - and a pro-life one at that (though many would call me a flip-flopper as I was a pro-choice person in my youth) - only have McCain as their best bet.
