I doubt it would be that high. If people are pro-choice they’d probably vote for Obama in the overwhelming majority of cases, all a pro-abort on the ticket would do is fracture McCain’s already shakey base.

Not really true in the Northeast. Nonetheless, I don't see Ridge picking up a lot of pro-choice voters who would otherwise vote for Obama, since the VP's position on the issue usually has very little impact.

Absolutely correct. Obama is actually on record as favoring killing babies who've already been born. He will most likely get even Ridge's vote.

Frankly, Obama has the baby killing vote all wrapped up and in the bank.
