“BS it is the Press reading into McCains words”
Oh, really? From USA Today:
“Republican John McCain says he has not ruled out choosing Pennsylvania’s popular former Gov. Tom Ridge as a running mate despite his support for abortion rights, a hot-button issue that could inflame some voters among the party’s conservative base.”

So, are you saying McCain never actually mentioned Ridge? And, I believe I saw video of him making those remarks. More:
“And also I feel that — and I’m not trying to equivocate here — that Americans want us to work together,” McCain added. “You know, Tom Ridge is one of the great leaders and he happens to be pro-choice. And I don’t think that that would necessarily would rule Tom Ridge out.”
Yeah, that great and inspiring leader, Tom Ridge, renowned from sea to shining sea.
USA today? L0L!!!
A bastion of journalism!
Mentioning Ridge is hardly sanctioning abortion.
This is just spin to knock McCain down. He has shown in past weeks that he IS the only choice worthy of consideration.
Lets apply the sane standards to Obama. The choice is clear
