I disagree. What does Pawlenty bring? Nothing. He’s Dan Quayle redux.
Put Ridge on the ticket and you’ve got two Vietnam vets against two cowards who never wore the uniform. You negate Biden in PA. You appeal to Appalachia (Western PA, OH, WV, KY). You’ve got someone with executive leadership.
Yes, Ridge is on the wrong side of the abortion issue, but do you really want to see Obama as president? Nothing could be worse.
The defeat of Obama is not dependent on Ridge as VP.
Look at Ridge’s time in the U.S. House: nuclear freeze, anti-Contra, pro-abortion. He isn’t beloved in Pennsylvania either. He’s more of a lump than a favored son.
Tell it like it T-I-IZZZ BUMP!
