Ridge’s stance on abortion isn’t “somewhat shaky”, it’s solid. He’s pro-abort and a Catholic to boot. Way to go to piss off a crucial segment of voters as if McCain hasn’t already. That’s the reason Ridge wasn’t chosen for VP in 2000. He needs to go with the solid Mark Sanford of SC.
I was being euphemistic with the Ridge/abortion remark :-) Yes, you’re right and it’s a shame, because he could be marketable to the masses otherwise. I like Sanford as well, but the vast uninformed, clueless “don’t care” ADD public needs to see a VP runner with some pretty high name recognition, I fear. Maybe I’m being too cynical, but I sure see what’s been happening with the BHO zombies in record numbers.
