Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge said today that John McCain can't become president without carrying Pennsylvania and that the race would be different if McCain had chosen him as his running mate.
"I think the dynamics would be different in Pennsylvania," Ridge said when asked if he should have been chosen to run as vice president over Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. "I think we'd be foolish not to admit it publicly."
Ridge, the campaign's national co-chairman, said McCain "had several good choices and I was one of them."
He nonetheless defended the Palin selection, calling it a "typical, bold McCain-like choice."

well put
Who? Some Ridge Runner?
If he picked Ridge, he’d be down by 20
I voted for the independent when Ridge ran for governor. Evidently his votes on guns was not up to par according to hubby.
How about the fact that he is Catholic but pro-abortion?
Yeah it would have been good for PA and nowhere else. I know he wouldnt have “stimulated” the base like Palin did.
What you said!
True true true
“Wow. This guy’s a weasel. The race isn’t over, he’s a co-chair of the campaign and he’s telling the press that McCain lost for not picking him as a running mate.”
He is clearly a very shallow, vain guy, no wonder that he never made much impression on any of us. Good riddance to him and his ilk.
I would NOT have voted with abortionist Ridge on the ticket. McCain made a wise choice by picking Sarah.
Ridge - What a Jackass!!
Big-O.J.-headed RINO alert.
Ridge = Attention Whore
His speech at the convention was one of the most boring I ever heard. I don’t know how the audience stayed awake...I guess that was the same night Sarah was introduced to America so they were likely excited about that. Gosh, was he dull!
Pro-Abortion Whiner!
Jeez. Let me think. Would I and thousands of others be heading to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne tomorrow to see Vice-Presidential candidate Tom Ridge. Uh, no.
Okay Ridge, how many other states would he lose?
Ridge is such a putz.
What else would you expect from Duct Tape Boy?
Yeah, it would have been different alright. I wouldn’t have voted for McCain and. I wouldn’t have sent in money. I suspect it would be different in other ways as well.
