Wanna bet? Words ain't crap. Historically McCain has been Pro-Choice. He's a Johnny come lately to the other side. Something tells me he is looking also for a recent convert.

McCain Advisers Say Stance on Abortion Is Crucial for No. 2

SEDONA, Ariz. — Senator John McCain has narrowed his list of potential running mates to a handful of candidates and appears unlikely to select anyone who supports abortion rights, several advisers close to his campaign said on Thursday.

Former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts and Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota are the top candidates......

McCain associates recently put forth two other candidates, former Gov. Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut, as possibilities.............

People close to the campaign also floated a wild-card choice, Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top American commander in Iraq..........

“I want somebody who’s independent, somebody who can push against my preconceived notions and challenge me so we have got a robust debate in the White House,” Mr. Obama told the newspaper.

He called his decision difficult and said that “we had some great choices.”
