McCain might not have a litmus test but the base of the party does. The fastest way to keep religious voters home is to put a pro-abort on the ticket.

For every vote that Ridge loses for being on the ticket, he can easily get 2 or 3 pro-choice voters.

McCain will have a Senate with a Democratic majority throughout his first term. Therefor, he will not have the political capital to go with a Strong Pro Life Justice.

Given McCain’s age it’s highly unlikely he can get my vote by running with a baby killing butcher.

History on Tom Ridge and Abortion
Ridge will not get the VP slot...just way too much baggage on many issues. Seems to me he is spinning on behalf of McCain to keep the pro-aborts quiet for now.
