The Million (Soul) Question

October 15, 2008 – 7:28 pm

 

From the New York Times:

Litmus Test? | 10:12 p.m. Could you ever nominate someone to the Supreme Court who disagreed with your view on abortion?

Mr. McCain says he wouldn’t have a litmus test and would consider anyone and their qualifications. But, he says, he doesn’t believe that anyone who supported Roe v. Wade would be qualified.

Mr. Obama also says he would have no litmus test. He goes on to say he supports Roe v. Wade but doesn’t say whether he would support someone who opposes it.

Of course he doesn’t say!  This debate began and ended like all the other ones - McCain attacking Obama, and Obama sidestepping the attacks without giving a clear response.  Who do you think won?

P.S. - There’s a new poll at the right.  I know I’m probably preaching to the choir, but go ahead and vote and we can see where our Biters stand.
