I think if McCain picks a pro-choice veep, he will lose, and I hardly ever make such unequivocal, blanket predictions.

I believe that McCain has it in his mind that he needs the white, older, blue collar Democrat Hillary voters in states like PA to win. He is also trailing among women and probably thinks a pro-choice veep can fix that. But for every Hillary voter he might get, he’s going to lose an evangelical or two.

Evangelicals WILL stay home, which makes Republicans more vulnerable than Democrats on moral issues. Look at the 2000 election where Candidate Bush was up comfortably in the polls until the 30-year old DUI charge. Enough evangelicals decided they couldn’t trust him and stayed home to turn a decent lead into an epic nail-biter. And 30-year old DUIs don’t begin to approach infanticide on the “can’t go there” list for most serious Christians.
