o.t.....Newsweek: Pat Robertson: McCain Vice Presidency 'To Think That That Man Is One Heartbeat Away From The Presidency Would Scare Me To Death!' Warns Bush Not To Choose Pro-Choice Running Mate NEW YORK, April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Pat Robertson is apoplectic at the notion that Texas Gov. George W. Bush might choose his former opponent, Arizona Sen. John McCain, as his running mate. ``To think that that man is one heartbeat away from the presidency would scare me to death!' Robertson tells Chief Political Correspondent Howard Fineman in the current issue of Newsweek. Bush is expected to meet with McCain, whom many Republican see as a logical choice for veep, although McCain has said he's not interested. (Photo: newscom.com ) Even so, the evangelical leader is also generally dubious about McCain's future political prospects. McCain ``needs to understand that, in terms of national politics, I don't think he has much of a future ... There is a streak of bullheadedness. Women noticed it. They saw beneath that rather plastic smile he kept putting on for television an anger in his eyes. Maybe that terrible treatment he had [as a POW in Vietnam] put it in him. He's a war hero, but there's an underlying anger,' he says in the April 24 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, April 17). Robertson has also warned Bush not to choose a pro-choice running mate, such as Gov. Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania. There are ``a lot of nervous Nellies' in Bush's inner circle who want their candidate to drift farther to the center, says Robertson. ``I hope that George W has enough sense to know-and I believe he does-that the base is extremely important. You don't forsake your base.' Those who think Bush should publicly pick a fight with Robertson the way Bill Clinton attacked ``Sister Souljah' in 1992 are fools, the reverend tells Fineman. ``You get some weak black woman, beat her up and act like you're a hero ... That's not the same thing as going after me! I mean, it really isn't!'
