McCain Continues Looking At Pro-Choice VP Picks

  The question is whether the rank-and-file Republican base would revolt against John McCain if he picks a pro-choice running mate. Apparently, top campaign officials are putting the feelers out to gauge opinion.

  McCain is pro-choice, but two names that keep potting up are former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge and Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut. Both are pro-choice.

  Quote: Rush Limbaugh used his radio program Tuesday to blast the idea of McCain, R-Ariz., selecting someone who isn’t a solid abortion opponent.

"If he picks a pro-choice running mate, it's not going to be pretty," Limbaugh said.

  The question remains, however, so what if McCain does pick a pro-choice veep. Are Republicans going to revolt and vote for Barack Obama, who's also pro-choice and a lot more liberal?
