I’m hesitant enough about McCain as it is, Ridge would be the last straw.

I know what you mean. My first response was disgust and a feeling of betrayal.

I am sure there are many like us who would find it difficult to vote for McCain if he chose Ridge.

Another thing to keep in mind is the FACT that A LOT of Catholics ONLY vote GOP in presidential elections BECAUSE OF ABORTION (plenty of Catholics are fairly liberal on fiscal and national defense issues). Bush WOULD NOT have won either election without these Catholic voters, if McCain shows that he doesn’t care about abortion he WILL lose these votes.
