McCain to pick Pro-Choice VP?

Here is yet another example of why Conservatives are having trouble warming up to John McCain: 

“I think that the pro-life position is one of the important aspects or fundamentals of the Republican Party...”

“And also I feel that — and I’m not trying to equivocate here — that Americans want us to work together,” McCain added. “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 would rule Tom Ridge out.” (courtesy of Fox News)

The consistent McCain strategy seems to be:  reach out to the unreachable and ignore or even upset the base.  It will be an interesting case study to see how that strategy works out.
