Joe Lieberman is an independent now. He’s essentially black listed in certain circle of the Democratic party. It would’ve been absolutely genius for John McCain to have chosen him, not only to prove bipartisan ability, but to appeal to a wider range in the Republican party, as John McCain’s stances have very much been out of line with the Republican party, yet his core beliefs align him with such.
It makes me sad that states like MN would worry themselves over frivolous issues such as these when you should be looking into Jim Johnson/ Franklin Raines/ Sallie Mae-Freddie Mac, and who it trickles down to. It’s one thing to be a democrat. It’s another to support someone who may very well go down in history as the MOST liberal senator we’ve ever had- with no ability to reach across the isle.
That’s ok, if your guy wins, he’s in for 4 years of economic hell and by the end of it all, we’ll all know the truth.

Gore ran as a right-to-lifer in the “88 election. It was only in “92, while being tapped by Clinton to be his running mate, that he turned pro-choice. Now, he is an ardent pro-choicer. Lieberman could make a similar conversion in the reverse. At the end of the day, politicans only believe, or profess to believe, what will get them elected; and I would not give to much credence to what they claim to believe today.

I think Liberman, Kay Baily Hutchinson,or the govenor from Alaska, Pilan, or Conde Rice would win the election for McCain….its about time we had a woman in the white house……McCaine has to wake up and smell the coffee and sometimes go over the edge and don't go with what the Republican party says. They're wrong half the time, and they're a bunch of thugs themselfs…..and if he really wants to win the race, think about Ron Paul……I believe in evrything he says….I truly wish he was running, I'd vote for him in a American second. The problem with this whole process is, there are only two parties to choose from, they're arogant and the people are not in their solutions, and, they're extremely selfish, and love big lobbyists!!!

McCain just plain likes Joe Lieberman. He sees him as a very close friend and as a statesman. JM would like to shove his Lieberman pick in the faces of the radical leftists who kicked JL out of the party .
John must know It would be political suicide and hopefully it won't happen, but imagine the sour pusses on the dems when vice president Joe took his seat behind president John in the senate chambers during the first 'state-of-the-union.'

Picking Lieberman or any other pro-abortion liberal will backfire. By doing so McCain may well attract some of the angy radical feminist, sore loser supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton but social conservatives will forsake him in droves. He will lose a lot more votes than he gains by such a foolish campaign strategy. It may even seriously damage the Republican Party for years to come.

Why is it that McCain would even consider a running mate like J.L? You dont see Dem's vetting conservatives in order to appeal to the fringes of thier party….The strength of the tree is in its roots John.

I am guessing Senator McCain will pick a disaster, someone the Conservatives could not vote for. Senator McCain would rather be wrong than be President.

If true, and I have little reason to doubt it, it shows you what a conservative McCain really is. In reality McCain would easily fit the mold of the “Blue Dog” Dem of the Demo-Socialist party. He's a disaster on the ABSOLUTE Right to Keep and Bear Arms which guarantee's all the other Rights in the B.O.R. He's an open border guy who talks out of both sides of his mouth. Shall I go on?
