Lieberman reportedly on McCain’s VP ‘short-list.’
Think Progress- By at 1:59 pm
The Financial Times reports that Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) campaign is vetting Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) as a potential vice presidential running mate. One adviser said, “[McCain] loves Lieberman. And he is on the [short-]list because Lieberman has never embarrassed anyone, never misspoken. The first rule is, don’t take someone who costs you votes.” The adviser also added, however, that many conservatives “would be pissed as hell.” Lieberman will also likely attend the GOP convention and may be speaking there.
I like it. It’ll be the best of all worlds; a lot of lefties (me included) believe Holy Joe cost Gore the election, are pissed as hell about his subsequent embrace of the moronic monkey, and would be even more motivated to vote against him. On the right, they would be furious about a guy who votes with the dems 87% of the time-AND the Klanservatives woule be demoralized by the presence of a Jew on the Gopper ticket.
Let it happen.
Yes, Jolly, I hope LIEberman runs with McSame and we can run them both outta town at the same time!
LOL
Those two look like they need a room!
Did you hear a tapping of a foot GEF?
LMAO
So THAT’s why Gore picked him in 2000 – to keep the Republicans from picking him. I now finally understand that US politics is like choosing up sides for a kid’s game of Red Rover. /snarkasm
Yep, SBT, I was thinking about that the other day and it reminds me of when I was Captain on my girls softball team in high school and how the other Captain and I would fight over who we were going to get on “our” team…
Children’s games… LOL
I have no idea how the Connecticut reelected Lieberweinerman…
He’s a multi leveled traitor!
oh Please pick him…
PLEASE!!!!
Let McSame pick the LIE-berman….oh PLEASE….do it for us!!!
CT elected LIEberman because he was elected by the REPUBLICANS in that state, the Dems hate him.
