AMERICAblog: McCain to right wingers: I'm anti-choice, (but my VP might not be)

So I guess because McCain is asking radio Show hosts for their opinions on his choice for Vice President and whether or not they will accept a Pro-choice VP, does this mean Sean Hannity and Rush, and Bill O'Reilly, and other right-wing radio hosts will also be asked to help McCain run the country? I thought McCain makes his own decisions? Now it looks like he will be asking those same radio hosts to help him forge his foreign policy, his economic policies and probably his energy policies. I guess McCain is too old to make decisions on his own.

I think that in order to burnish his 'maverick' credentials, McCain is floating the possibility that he'd choose a pro-choice person. Then, after he chooses an anti-choice zealot, he can point to all of this dissent from wingers and say that he doesn't mind pissing off his base when he's feeling mavericky; all the while sucking up to the base by actually choosing the doctrinal candidate.
I'm pretty sure that's the only reason this is getting so much play-- the McCain campaign is pushing the narrative that he's pissing off the base (Limbaugh et al) in order to prove he's still a 'maverick'. By floating this potential, he doesn't have to actually choose a pro-choice VP.

right-wing hate radio talk show hosts run the GOP these days. Our Little Maverick will bow down before the bloviators every time.
