The MSM is taking single quotes and trying to make mountains out of mole hills. NRO probably heard one McCain Adviser say that no one is out of the running until it's announced and then they follow up with something like, Lieberman? then the response was no one.
OK, well here is John McCain basically saying the same thing as quoted by another conservative web-site, the
Weekly Standard:
"I think that the pro-life position is one of the important aspects or fundamentals of the Republican Party," McCain said. "And I also feel that--and I'm not trying to equivocate here--that Americans want us to work together. 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 rule Tom Ridge out."
Research, Research, Research.
And given John McCain's "Maverick" and "Reach-across the aisle" past, why anyone would question the veracity of this type of behavior on the the part of the RINO McCain is beyond me.

As much as I don't particularly like the choices we have I also don't believe McCain wants to commit political suicide. To not rule someone out doesn't mean they are going to be picked.
The MSM played this “Who Do We Want?” game for two years and now we're stuck with McLame so it ain't going to fly with us anymore and McLame has to know it unless he's mentally challenged.
