Why hasn't Tom Ridge been mentioned for Rmoney's veep?

Former Governor of PA...and if/when Romney releases his tax returns, Ridge could color code them.

Isn't he pro-choice? phleshdef Jul 2012 #1

Doesn't the same question apply to Rmoney? OmahaBlueDog Jul 2012 #2

Which would be even more of a reason for Romney not to choose him... phleshdef Jul 2012 #5

I believe he is pro-choice. nt aaaaaa5a Jul 2012 #3

Don't they all just flip-flop on that when the mood suits them? OmahaBlueDog Jul 2012 #4

Pro-choice, not pants-on-head insane, and part of the Bush administration. Arkana Jul 2012 #6

Because he's a moderate. The Teabaggers wouldn't support him and he couldn't help win any other Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2012 #7

Perhaps like Mitch Daniels said. MissMarple Jul 2012 #8

The Republican base is already suspect of Romney on that issue. If he doesn't choose a solid anti-choice VP, it could get pretty ugly.

Perhaps they can come up with a list of five stands on abortion, and Ridge could color code them like terror alerts.

Also, he was the guy who came up with that hilarious color-coded alert system.

Daniels said if he thought they would call about the veep, he would have the phone disconnected.

Priceless.
