Is McCain About to Throw the Election by Picking a Pro-Abort Running Mate?
There's been lots of ink spilled on this, including by me here and here.
Here's a round-up of some of what's being said around St. Blog's and elsewhere about the possibility of McCain choosing a pro-abortion running mate:

I think we can probably relax:

Especially after the warm reception he received from conservatives after his Saddleback triumph McCain understands how this election will be won and waffling on the abortion issue by chossing a pro-abort Veep is no part of the strategy I think he has embraced.
I am not sure that it's a done deal. There is a large segment in the RP that are pro-abort, likewise there are a number of older northeastern democrats that are pro-abort and favor a strong acting president, all of whom McCain appeals to.
One thing I do think will happen irregardless, this election marks the end of the Republican Party as we know it. Odds are the McCain will win, and there is enough in between for a possible Obama win, but I think McCain will win. And during that time he will do more to drive away real Conservatives and libertarians that the party will fold.
Just my two cents.
Excellent round up of news articles.
