This time he’s managed to get them all riled up by floating a pro-choice VP balloon.
NR has learned that the McCain campaign has been calling key state GOP officials around the country the last couple of days and sounding them out about the consequences of a pro-choice VP pick. The campaign is asking about the reaction of conservative grass-roots activists to such a pick and whether a pro-choicer can be sold to them. This is an indication that the McCain campaign is serious about the possibility of a pro-choice VP nominee and that McCain leaving the door open to Tom Ridge last week may not have been merely a friendly nod to a longtime supporter.
You had to ask what their reaction would be? Are you slow?
Never fear though, McCain got the obvious answer he apparently needed and has supposedly backed off the idea.
Is it November yet?
