I suppose you saw the article the other day where McCain feels he needs to pick a ‘pro choice’ VP.

Here’s a tid bit I hadn’t seen....circa 1993. Did you know he helped craft, ‘don’t ask, don’t tell?’ And according to him, this IS NOT a Christian nation....

McCain also noted that he was in the opposition when the Arizona Republican Party several years ago endorsed a resolution declaring the United States to be a Christian nation.

``I am a Christian,’’ McCain said, ``and devotion to my faith is integral to my own pursuit of happiness. But we are not only a Christian nation.’’

The senator was recently active in crafting the ``don’t ask-don’t tell’’ policy in regard to gays in the military but has otherwise largely stayed away from the issue during his political career.

Didn't John McCain also oppose the marriage amendment?

A trivial point: His suits are too big in the shoulders and at times he reminds me of a zoot suiter with his oddly short arms.

I missed that one.

Put it together with his other comment, about wanting to appoint someone that thinks like him and will carry on his agenda (can you say global warming?), and I guess he could appoint just about any pro-choice Democrat.
