WND has bumper stickers and buttons for those who can’t stand the thought of voting for either Barack Obama or John McCain. I still don’t know what the right answer is here. Many are waiting to see who John McCain picks as his VP candidate. I’ve heard names like Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney (puke). One name that is apparently still on the short list, according to a McCain campaign adviser, is pro-abortion Democrat Joseph Lieberman. According to this advisor, “[McCain] loves Lieberman. And he is on the [short] list because Lieberman has never embarrassed anyone, never misspoken. The first rule is, don’t take someone who costs you votes.” Admittedly this would cause a huge problem among conservatives, but, as the McCain aide said, “sometimes John does what John wants to do.” Isn’t that the truth? He didn’t let a little thing like defending innocent human life stop him from voting to expand federal funding for ESC research, so I doubt he’d have serious qualms about choosing Lieberman despite the potential for a conservative fallout. The good thing is that Lieberman has repeatedly said that he would not consider running with McCain.

Count me among those who are waiting to see who McCain’s running mate will be. To me, this will be an important signal about what McCain’s real priorities will be.
If he doesn’t choose a reliably pro-life running mate (and that’s not Romney, and it’s certainly not Lieberman), I won’t be supporting him.
But I have hopes, and that’s why I’m waiting.
