I hthought Sarah was pro-life.

She is.

But a candidate needs to answer one question truthfully: will the candidate do the will of the people even if it differs from the candidate's personal "feelings" or opinions? Romney, for instance, has a progressive streak a mile wide, but I believe he is willing to set it aside for the good of the country. Can Condi do the same? Sarah seems to think so. Can the other potential VP choices? That is the real issue.

Is this a promise or just a greasy politician leaving wiggle room?

Moderator: Gov. Romney, will the person you chose as your vice presidential running mate be someone who shares your pro-life and pro-marriage convictions?

Romney: I certainly imagine so, I haven’t made and selections in that regard … [as I look around at the people I would consider] I would expect that they would all be pro-life and pro-traditional marriage … but this is an important enough issue that the person that I would select in that position would share my views on those important issues.

I agree. Lots of people thought Kaine would be against the death penalty when he was gov of VA, but he wasn’t even though he had publicly said he was against it.

I am not willing to trust either one of them on a hypothesis that is just supposition and wishful thinking. If mitt chooses condi... it will be because of her progressive ideology and her pro abortion stance.
