“If ex-Congressman Bob Weygand gets the nomination, he’d be the only pro-life Democrat Governor in the nation.”


Isn’t WV Gov. Manchin a pro-life Democrat? And so is VA Gov. Tim Kaine, IIRC (perhaps the #1 reason why Obama didn’t pick him as his runningmate)-—of course, he won’t be governor anymore in 2011. And I would have thought that with all those Dem governors in “fly-over states” that at least one of them would be pro-life.

I may have misspoke on that point then. Manchin might be, but I’ve never heard his position. If Tim Kaine is pro-life, that also is news to me. His positions I always read as militantly leftist down the line.

The only thing I came across was this blog entry:
http://rightdemocrat.blogspot.com/2009/04/pro-life-democrat-tim-kaine-stands-by.html

I’ve heard many Dems claim not to be pro-abort, but they won’t support any pro-life legislation.

It was my conclusion Kaine was not picked as a running mate because they didn’t want the VA Governorship falling into GOP hands.
