Rich Lowry over at National Review says that Team McCain has been calling key state Republican officials and sounding them out about the consequences of a pro-choice Vice President pick.

Most pundits have been focusing on former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge and Independent/former Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman.

But, remember last week when it was announced that Maria Comella was joining Team McCain’s Vice President operation. And, for whom did Comella immediately work?

Pro-Choice, former New York Mayor and Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani.

Could it be Rudy?

Flap thinks it would be a reach but certainly Rudy would be a more forceful and an attack-dog type Vice Presidential candidate. And, nobody from National Review is panning him – even now.

Rudy Giuliani would be a good choice for Vice President and with all of the John Edwards sex, mistress, love child scandal Rudy’s personal baggage might be more ancient history. And, should Obama choose the racist remarking, plagiarizing Joe Biden as Vice President…..

But, Flap thinks McCain will play it safe with Tim Pawlenty, the Governor of Minnesota.

Update:

Kathryn Jean Lopez has picked up on It’s Rudy.

I don’t think it’s being floated for Liebermann or Ridge.
I think he’s considering Giuliani.
- Might put NY in enough play to make Obama spend a lot of money there.
- Has name recognition and gets plenty of respect on law enforcement/national security
- Might be more palatable to pro-lifers if he were to make clear that it’s McCain’s pro-life administration

Michelle Malkin is already shuddering at the prospect of McRudy.

But, would she rather have flipper Romney?
